    No sir. I have not seen this before. And yes, this was at a construction site. Makes sense now

    Wow... Loaded question. In short, linehaul hauls bulk freight from one terminal to another.

    P&D is the final mile delivery/pick up service.

    But I thought the drivercams and zero-tolerance-for-anything-at-all policies made this kind of thing unpossible!?!?! It's almost like treating drivers like they're stupid, ends you up with a workforce of stupid drivers!

    Linehaul drivers are fat and lazy while P&D guys lose their hair prematurely because they pull it out in frustration.

    But both sides swear their job is more important than the other guy's.

    Sounds like Linhauk is where I wanna be. I'm more of a night owl anyway.

    P&D IS more important than linehaul . Without P&D, linehaul would have nothing to do.

    ....oh wait.

    When ever you have a set up doubles you never want to pull into someplace you can't get out of always a good idea to either not get off the highway at all or scope a place out. Or if you have to drive and drive until you find a lot you can turn around in. This poor person just caused Saia to make another rule...
