Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Sounds like you guys are done with volvos and going to freightliner starting in 2020. A few buddies I used to work chain accounts with told me

 

Im already in like flynn. Finished my probation last Saturday. Terminal I'm out of is adding some sleeper runs over the next few months. The Intent list produced almost twice as many bodies as they need so I'm safe from teaming.

Keep getting told by many folks i hired in at a good time. Referring to how others have struggled the first year or two. Heard some people are retiring this year but any little bit helps to move up the board.

 

Been working less than 30 hours a week for the past month. Being low man is the worst. I'm thinking of jumping ship. Is it this slow everywhere, or just the Bay area?

 

Hey, my absolute congratulations on being off probation. You're in. You did it.

 

I'm hearing that everybody is slow right now.

 

There's at least a couple of listings for solo full time permanent tractor trailer drivers on the UPS jobs website. I almost thought it was a typo at first: Tractor Trailer Driver at United Parcel Service (UPS)

 

Oh yeah. Just because we're hiring for sleepers doesn't mean that's all we're hiring for.

I normally wouldn't tell drivers that they are guaranteed to get sleeper positions, but the way this is stacking up, it looks like a pretty good shot. I have looked at the sign-up sheet, and we still need a lot more.
