Yellow is sending me to Las Vegas.

I signed up to travel and Yellow is sending me to Las Vegas for potentially 2 months (2 week minimum but with the option to extend). I’ve never driven out there but I’m beyond excited. Is anyone familiar with the lanes out there? Specifically the meet and turns locations?
Thank you.

(I started with this company on Monday, I guess they need help kickstarting their super regional “one yellow” vision) , which, I’m pretty excited about. It sounds like from everyone I’ve spoken with they’re mostly concerned with the language of the contract, and not the operational changes. A lot of men/women out of my terminal have been with the company for 20+ years and there aren’t a lot of new drivers.. the majority are drivers with 10+ years of seniority, feeling pretty glad that I applied.

 

I am Linehaul!

My terminal though has most drivers running sleepers but a lot of senior drivers have said that they’re hoping they are phased out within a year or two.

Las Vegas I will be running single man but at my home terminal it will most likely be sleeper teams for 3-5 days, at least it’s a good opportunity to meet the other drivers and build report.


Orientation day they placed a Union card in front of me and I filled it out, I guess when my first paycheck is issued it’ll be official that I’m a teamster.

 

I haven’t heard anything about initiation fees yet. I’ll talk to some people tomorrow and ask around and see if it’s still a thing!
