LC Transportation

Hey there Diesel -

Well, I hate to sound totally ambiguous, but "it all depends". There are basically 3 different side of the company; Fed-Ex, UPS, and Denver. And depending on which side you run, that will determine your hometime. I should say that they recently started a fourth side, which is teams running to California, but I know nothing about that at all. When I ran Fed-Ex, I was home every 6-10 days. When I ran Denver, I was home every 7-12 days, and with UPS, the first run, I was out for 15 days, then since then, I have been home just about every week. As far as how long you are home, it is sort of up to you, but there have been times that I was home for 1 1/2 days because the load I wanted had to go.

Pay rates are based on your experience. You would need to call the recruiting office to get that info.

As far as the equipment, again, it will depend on which side you are assigned. They have just about every kind of tractor out there. Some are configured for long haul (Denver and California) and others are configured for short haul (Fed-Ex).

Not sure about the O/O opportunities. I know that they put a hold on hiring any more, but I am not tied into the "Operations Brainchild" enough to give you an accurate answer. And if you are looking to get a dedicated run, you will (just like any other company), pay your dues and let them get a feel for how you run and what your capabilities are.

Your best bet is to call up there and talk to the recruiter. His name is Dale ext 1015. The company is very dynamic and I don't think I could give you an accurate portrayal of what is available RIGHT NOW.

Good luck and keep me in the loop.

 

Hehehe, yeah, that is one of those things that we will be able to laugh about one day when we're sitting on the rockers on the front porch (or at a Cracker Barrel)

Glad you were there with me.

Well, it would be a lot easier (and quicker) to answer your questions in a phone call as opposed to emailing back and forth.

If I can help, I would be more than happy to, but my schedule for the next week or so is going to be rather hectic. Talking to you while driving down the highway would certainly be much easier for me.

Besides, I don't know what your questions are.
