Something to keep in mind if you do eventually go with FedEx Freight: Linehaul drivers are required to do dock work on shorter runs, and Atlanta has a lot of those, so you’d be stuck doing that for a few years. I’m talking like less than 50 miles to the hub, work the dock for 5-6 hours, then 50 miles back to your home terminal. It still pays a decent amount (and an absurd amount at the top of the pay scale), but driving a forklift more than a truck is a dealbreaker for some.

Another thing to keep in mind about this: Hitting the dock for 6 hours nightly, on a 100 mile round trip dispatch, with appropriate task pay for the linehaul at top scale is over $1400 or $72,800 yearly for less than 8.5 hours of work every day and not breaking your back to do it.

But but but...I don't wanna do dockwork! Or drive nights! Or pull doubles!

What's a good LTL company that'll meet my demands?
