I have found/Applied for:
SAIA
YRC
ABF
Con-way Freight
I was honest with them. I have 0 Experience with Forklifts, and no experience with LTL/Parcel Delivery type situations. When I am home next I will take a look at Soutwest Motor Transport.
Are there any others aside from Fed-Ex or UPS to check out? I can't do UPS because their starting pay would leave me eating Ramen for a year. And Fed-Ex near me is crowded with Owner Ops. There are literally 7 Fed-Ex freight drivers and 4 Fed-Ex ground that live within 10 miles of my home. -
Do p/d long enough you will probably stop getting out to look as much if at all
-
You will be alright Byx.They all will take you without experience on forklifts and city work has its good days and bad days.I work for Conway Freight and I will tell you like I tell everybody else.Its only a Job and it will only be hard if you let it
-
Good start!
There might be some "mom and pop"-type operations around your area. Check around and see what they need.
UPS's starting pay leaving you eating ramen? Are you applying to Package or Freight? -
Freight but they told me I'd start out around 12-14$ an hour working the dock.
-
Oof. Would there be any driving involved or just dock work?
-
Just dock work at the start, they would start to integrate me into the fleet within six months. But I can't live off 14$ an hour for 6 months.
-
Thats just part time work, I was hired full time right off the street and onto a bid. But started at 15.10 per hour
-
I was hired on at about $16/hour and 41 CPM. This is the right time. Freight is picking up like crazy nation wide. Once you got a solid foot in the door, you can build up more hours. As for getting a bid right off the start.... ACH seems to have more luck than they rest of us. I am extra board... along with my 20/year veteran coworker. Take each day by stride my friend.Byx Thanks this.
