Life As A Line Haul Driver

I don't work there (yet), I have a friend who does. But it's the Indianapolis terminal. Yea it's pretty decent in size.

 

Just started Linehaul. Make anywhere from 350-430 a night.. Just build sets/ break down -5 times a night (doubles or triples) and drive to 3 terminals and back. Fairly easy.
May back two trailers in to a door each night, sometimes 4.

Only 2 Linehaul drivers at my terminal so no seniority boards or anything. I landed a good gig. I’m still kind of new at building sets so I’m not fast at it yet but I’m getting there.

 

I did line haul with flowers for 8 years. Anywhere from 205-465 miles a night. Depending on the DC you were servicing. We started anywhere from 8pm to 1am. Pulling 53’ reefers. Made good money, had fun, & wore my butt out. Man it is so nice not to run nights anymore. Heck i rarely even cross the Hudson anymore. Life is good for sure
