    Apply on fedex website and then give the manager a call. They should hire you since you have ltl experience.

    How big is the OD terminal where you are? They seem to be busy around here in Northeast Pa.

    @Fuelinmyveins is a pretty big terminal, its been a bit slow since I got hired on last year. If for some reason I dont get on with any LTL Ill get into tanker or flatbed.

    In my day, I would just collect un-employment for a few months since being laid off makes you eligible. But I can see if you are a family man with bills etc, you need to get a big paycheck. good luck.....

    You have to collect rocking chair pay from someone you worked for long enough, that probably won't be Old Dominion in his case.
