Getting burnt out on this OTR trucking thing!

I hear you. That's why i don't wanna go OTR. When i was driving roll off trucks, i was making 650 dollars a week and home every night.

 

KT You just need to simmer down a little, If I were you I'd stick it out another 6 months, My ride to this point has not been the best, I'm not going into all of it, I will say this, once I left my first real company that jumped me from .28 CPM to .34 CPM I wished I had stayed where I was, the politics the electronic logs and everything else was not worth the 06 CPM plus that company almost ruined my career, I had to get an attorney to write a letter to them to get them to remove stuff on my DAC, Now Monday I go to work for a small 30 truck company making $.38 CPM and they said if I don'r run(non-governed paper books) 3000 a week I am doing something wrong! So we will see just hang a while longer you are past the bad stuff. I hope this has back you away from the cliff!!

 

Yes I got hired at con-way freight over two years ago with zero experience.

LTL's that hire with no experience

YRC Freight
Fedex Freight
Con-way Freight
ABF
Reddaway(western regional..part of yrc)
Old Dominion Freight Lines
Saia
Estes

There are plenty other smaller regional LTL's that only operate in a few states..So where are you located makes a difference as well.

 

What if i don't have doubles or triples will they still hire me? I live in baltimore.

 

$650 per week? That's pretty low.

 

the smaller companies that run more 53's in their operation might. Look into A. Duie Pyle, I dont think they use pups. And NEMF runs northeast, never seen a set from them either. Or New Penn(also a Northeast YRC regional) uses all 53's in their linehaul ops..Never seen a pup from them, and I used to work at the Maspeth terminal as a casual.

I know con-way will NOT hire you without haz/doubles and trips. We are a pup heavy linehaul operation. Same goes for the big dogs, fedex, OD, SAIA, Estes...they all require the endorsements.. So go get them. Even a little kid could pass the tests. Give yourself more options.
