What all drivers want

Well ya see I just cant. But are you sure that anywhere Greyhound gets hired he is going to be a casual? Are you sure that he is actually looking for LTL? Maybe I missed that part. Is there a possibility there are other driving jobs out there that pay that wage or better (I bet there is) that are not LTL? I am not "so sure" that you are wrong but I think there is a pretty good probability that you are not right only because there are jobs out there that neither one of us and some others have not heard about. But just because we have not heard of them or know of them does not mean they don't exist.

 

Yea the early bird gets the worm......good luck.

 

If Greyhound fills out applications at all the mainstream LTL carriers, yes, he will start out as a casual. He stated he was in LTL for 18 years, 10 years with the same company. That tells me he plans on staying in LTL. I never said there weren't other jobs that didn't pay higher wages to start with. I said "Not in LTL".

 

True, but EVERY Vitran driver I have ever seen drives like an idiot. Drive through the I-65/I-70 split and count the Vitran trucks that blow the paint off your truck when you drive near the speed limit.

 

To be honest with you, your best bet if you want to stay in LTL is to check out FedEx or UPS. You won't make 1k a week, but closer to the 600-750/week range.

 

Make sure you tell him that so he knows what his plans are then..

 

No need to be a smart ###.

 

I haven't seen a single one, yet. I'm not saying you drive like this, but it doesn't look good when you claim you drive for one of the most dangerous carriers out there.
