    O.D. has a bonkers top rate though, $28 an hour I think? I heard that second-hand from a Conway (XPO) driver who was comparing the rates of compensation between the two so I can't say for certain that's accurate. O.D. has high hourly, but all straight time while Conway has lower hourly but OT after 8/40 so it apparently evens out. I work for a smaller LTL company in the area but have talked to a lot of guys from a lot of different companies and O.D. drivers always seem to be the most content with their employment situation.

    I've spoken w/Fedex Freight guys in my area who have said the same thing, high pay and love the job. I think there's a hub in Phoenix.

    No, I think the food service guys have it a lot worse than we do. A lot of my deliveries are forklift off the back. That doesn't exist in their world. And, not only do they have to fingerprint every single box on that truck, but every delivery is an INSIDE delivery.
     
    Chinatown, Bob Dobalina and trecord88 Thank this.

    Glad to be of service. I hope you find what you're looking for.

    From the first day I walked in the door at my company, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It took 10 years to the day, but I got the run I wanted. :)
