    Majority of the LTL' s are non union. The only 2 that are union on that list are YRC and ABF.

    Union LTL's are.....

    - UPS Freight
    - ABF
    - YRC=New Penn/USF Holland and Reddaway (Reddaway has some non union barns)
    - FedEx Freight (Mostly non union but there's a few that are)
    - XPO (Also have union and non union barns. They went on strike a couple weeks ago)

    You never alley dock in a spread axle and your trainer should also be let go because he let you attempt to allay dock in a spread axle. To be honest, I dont know why they teach alley dock backing. Regardless of what trailer you pull, you rarely use the alley dock technique

    I have had to alley dock spreads before, the worst is an alley dock at ground level with a ramp, the spread changes turning points at the ramp and is a bear. I also had a spread van when I had a brain fart and bought some vans. lol
