So I met an Old Dominion driver today at a rest stop... here's how it went

At my terminal, we could not find anyone to work line haul. Top at .615 a mile, 15 for d/h, avg 400 plus, sleep in your own bed. Also, my place is strict, cameras happy.

 

well duh, nobody wants Cameras looking at them

 

How do you find out about scheduled build outs were a 60 door will go to 120 door or 100 door to 200 etc. etc. it would be nice to run in good weather but not to be on bottom for years. would like to get in just prior to a growth pattern. facility specific.

 

Has anybody seen the old lady with the flatbed?

 

That's assinine....now he works for their competition.

 

who do you work for again?

 

"Lowering industry standards." let me know when holland and yrc get to keep more than 85% of their paycheck meanwhile the rest of us non Union guys are enjoying our fat pay checks.. Man, what am I going to do with 2,000 a week gross?

 

oh yeah, its REAL tough to make 2 grand a week at Holland, after all, at 85%, its just competing with you guys, and the glaring holes in your pay setup. you the same Dudley Doright who gets his feelings hurt on the other forum? still cryin into your wine cooler about how ABF wouldn't take you? must be pretty sweet, making ALMOST as much as ABF guys, who are on concessions, to compete with your bottomfeeder company, lol!!!!

 

Old Dominion drivers are pert near at the top of the ltl world but many other are neck and neck with them. Just don't advertise as much.

 

There's a stumbling block with ltl companies. You have to have seniority to get the good $$$$$$$$ and make $2k a week without opening a trailer door or backing to a dock
