How's Everyone Doing in LTL Right Now?

Wasn't my experience. I hate working days and pretty much refuse to do it again. I fought like a mother####er to get onto nighttime linehaul. I even volunteered to work other terminals for months at a time in hotels to no avail. Nobody with a CDL wanted to work the dock. And rightfully so, climbing around on your knees on those godforsaken rack bars was pure misery.

 

Man I had a great setup on that day run too. I thought I was safe because it was a Tuesday-saturday so most those guys aren't getting up on a Saturday. There are way more shenanigans at night than there are during the day!

 

if Linehaul was days everyone would do it. But the time it takes nights to get a day shift cause of all the old guys holding on too long is the problem. One of my jobs would take me 20+ years to see daylight. I would look like Santa Claus by the time I could get it. Not worth it unless you’re into it for the money.

 

dang that’s not a bad shift at all. And having Sunday Monday off is just as nice.

 

Bro it was so lovely AND my meet person ended up getting surgery so the guy I was meeting agreed to run through every Saturday! So, I'm working 6 days guaranteed every week, I'm in Texas partying, attending race events and did I mention the money? Bro the money was great.

It was like getting paid to have fun. I didn't mind it one bit. The cut time was 0530 but usually a relay was there so I was at the terminal 0200 every morning. I was gone by 0300 at the latest 0330. I was back home before NOON most days bro! My meet person was just like me

We show up early and leave early.
