Pitt-Ohio Express, LLC - Pittsburg, Pa.?

Are you asking about the nightshift linehaul thing itself, or how it is to do it for Pitt? I don't work for them, but I know a little about how they operate from back when I was doing the nightshift. I used to talk to them on the CB a lot.

 

Most things considered, I'd say yes. The guys I talked to didn't do a whole lot of complaining. I thought I heard one night that ECM Transport drivers and Pitt Ohio linehaulers have somewhat of a dislike of each other since the same man that owns Pitt, also owns ECM. It was something to the effect of ECM drivers getting all the good runs or something.

I do know that Pitt Ohio has some stupid rules. They have established run times and forced routing, as does Fed Ex freight, and a few others. If you encounter a traffic delay due to a wreck or something and you need to take a detour, you need to contact Central Dispatch. They then contact the State Police wherever you are to verify your story. If it checks out, they give you something called a "detour code", to give to your destination terminal when they interrogate you about your late arrival.

If you can tolerate the aforementioned crapola, then by all means give them a call. But I, for one, find such restrictions intrusive and intolerable, and could not be paid enough to work under those conditions.

One thing you may wish to bear in mind. I imagine you are familiar with the poster Tip. One thing he always stresses is that a company who advertises constantly has problems keeping help. Pitt has an automated system where they list all their current openings. This may raise red flags for some people.
