Old Dominion P&D

Normally all the LTL's require a minimum of one year of driving experience OTR and certified at a credited driving school (Depends on driver needs). Otherwise, less than one year, most of them require you to go to their school and work up the ladder.

I would look into UPS FedEx at least they pay OT after 8hrs. ABF and YRC do as well idk if they keep you as busy with OT like the 2 mentioned above. In Virginia new LTL driver P&D pay is 22.50hr top scale is as at $29hr and change.

 

Meh, trying to think of some useful information to add. All the alphabet companies are more or less the same. When I worked at Reddaway in Montana, the ODFL guy I talked to said some of the same stuff I am reading on here. High starting pay and higher cap out plus OT after 60. Their benefits cost alot though.

My bottom line and I will be perfectly honest. If we polled all the top, all the middle, and all the new drivers from each company from the same area; and compared pay and medical benefits, this whole thing would be a wash. I could almost guarantee that every single person from the same group of employees would be within $8k of each other annually based on their respective companies.

Great pay, Great Equipment, Crappy benefits

It's always the same cycle ...unless you work for NPT or MTS... Then it's crappy pay, crappy benefits, crappy equipment. I would not even apply there.

 

I would look into Fedex Freight for the driver apprentice position. They pay OT after 40 hours too. Good pay and good equipment too.

 

Agree, but it was the same a little over a year ago, as in your shoes, when I tried numerous times to apply and was finally told that both qualifications were needed (I also pointed out the discrepancies in the and/or qualifications). They said come back in a year with experience. Now I'm at Estes.

 

There’s plenty of overtime if you’re willing to hustle
