Ltl companies overtime

Yea I saw that. I hit my year in May but they were talking about a new thing they're doing. They were going to hire me and put me in straight truck at class A pay to get LTL experience for a few months and then once I hit my year move me to tractor trailer. Line haul is what I'm mostly interested in. I heard good things about the company.

Yea I use to pass it every day off exit 245 when I ran to Fort Wayne every day. Little farther than I wanna drive everyday though.

 

Yeah, I'd jump on that if they offer it to you. Even Class B pay would be better than your current situation. But be forewarned: the straight truck guys do the most work out of all of us! But it will be worth it. Keep us posted.

 

Yea I have a buddy at Estes that drives a straight truck that seems to work his ### off as well. I'll def take it if they call. If not, I'll try again with them once I hit my year.

 

Same way where I used to work. We only had the one straight truck operating out of our terminal. The company lucked out and found the perfect driver for it. This perfect driver, (and I am NOT saying that sarcastically,) came to us from someplace back east. He had been a terminal manager there. But his wife worked for a large chain store, (Target perhaps,) and was offered a healthy promotion to come out here.
So he hires on, and they put him right on the bobtail. He did the job. He never complained. He never had any complaints against him. Very quite and soft spoken, not one to raise a fuss over anything.
I still see him driving around in that straight truck. I have to admire a guy like that.

 

F that with the business end of a rake!!
