Forgive me if this sounds like a gloat, because it’s certainly not my intention.
I read all the “we’re slow” talk and I’m having trouble believing it. Is that all over or just in certain areas? We have freight coming out of our ears and the sign out front says “hiring for city drivers”. I must have delivered about 100K lbs worth this week and yesterday one of our less popular dispatchers tried to pull me off my linehaul run I did this morning to go pick up 4 loads out of a nearby paint warehouse.

Live in Iowa bottom of the board is surviving blizzard to blizzard. Going to take a furlough, got a interview Monday to haul fuel. Gonna try that out for a few months, maybe longer if another round of furloughs happen in May/June.
jmz, road_runner and Digman943 Thank this. -
I think something is going on with FXF. I’m out of a large hub and we are super slow. BUT in the Chicagoland area Dayton, ABF, Estes, Yellow, AAA Cooper, Central and R&L are all hiring right now. Kind of strange. I put in for the voluntary furlough and I’ll find out Monday if I got it. They cut more runs and the bottom 6-8 road drivers are already just working the dock full time because of the lack of freight. I’m not playing the work every other night game wasting a full day sleeping for no reason. I’m sure as hell not working the dock for 5-8 hours. So I’ll take my furlough and try out different things and possibly just change jobs. If I don’t at least I have a job waiting for me in 3 months.

That's entirely natural, given that it's the post-Christmas lull. Come spring, things should rebound well I hope.Texas_hwy_287, Hawkeye72, Gearjammin' Penguin and 1 other person Thank this. -
We've collectively become too entitled.Texas_hwy_287 and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -
If I knew I’d get 8 hours it would be different. Could be 3 could be 6.
Hawkeye72, LtlAnonymous and Gearjammin' Penguin Thank this. -
Let us know how it goes......
Will it pay by the load? By the hour? Or something else?
Private fleet? Or a third party, instead?
