Its next to impossible to get into linehaul with this company. My last company i got lucky to be in linehaul, but i eventually got bumped out of it by a P&D driver. I think I'll give my previous employer a call and see if he has any positions available. I liked it there better because the terminal manager actually used to be a truck driver unlike the job I'm at now
Suspended/possibly fired, need advice (P&D)

Not gonna add anything that hasn't been said before. You got three pages of good advice from veteran drivers. You live in an area where they have other driving jobs available.
Quitting while being ahead is not the same as quitting. Do it before they fire you.joshuapowell61, rolls canardly, darthanubis and 2 others Thank this. -
do they have class B work? maybe see about that, then work to move back to A.

Stop doing LTL. No driver will be 100% on time to pick ups or deliveries 100% of the time. Carriers do not understand the concept of reality. And then put elog in the picture. This is why everything is getting crazy. Full throttle all day. Good solution for life.

If it makes you feel better I was in a similar situation early in my career but I’m still driving just gotta slow down remember safety first live by those words you’ll be ok

Suspended indefitnitely? They're hoping you'll just quit and save everybody a lot of trouble.
Local LTL can be a real rat race some times until you learn your way around. Local LTL during the Holidays can be pure hell.
The company should have given you more training but your mistakes were mostly errors in personal judgement. The pressure you were under didn't help things.
There are other types of local jobs, tankers, dry bulk, dump trucks etc, that might suit you better until you build up a little accident free drviing time and good references.
Then try local LTL again.darthanubis, bentstrider83 and road_runner Thank this. -
You could do foodservice that’ll make a man out of you or cripple you lol
