Volpe Express

[Mackman]

I have a job interview Friday at 11am with Volpe Express. I know they are teamsters and the starting rate is 18.18/hr with OT after 9 hours a day. The guy on the phone told me my run will start in South Jersey and i will work my way up to North Jersey and when i get empty I'm going to head to JFK airport for a back haul back down to South Jersey.

I asked him about New York City he told me he thinks i would'nt go there but cant guarantee it. They are a smaller LTL outfit with about 80 trucks. Just want to know if anyone knows anything. Thanks.

DEPENDABLE SERVICE

Is the youngster tired of playing in the mud...or has the dump business dried up??

UPDATE

The guy Jeff who interviewed me was a real nice guy. Seems like a very good company but i think it is not for me. I have the job if i want it. I have to let him know something by Wednesday. I think I'm going to turn down the offer.

They are working under blue line delivering to all the little caesars pizza places. Pulling a 48ft reefer. All hand un-load 3-5stops. Will have to go into NYC.

This was the real turn off for me. 14hr days Mon. - Thur. and on Friday it is like an 8/hr day. The reason i like to drive local is to be home every night. If i want to work 14hr days i should just go OTR. I wouldn't mine a 10-11hr day everyday and maybe once in a while a 14. But 14 everyday seems alittle much to me. So for now I'm sticking with dump trucks.

Sysco did send me an app. In the mail. I filled it out and sent it back. I will call them 2morrow to see whats up with that. Their starting rate is alot better 20.86 also teamsters local 500.

P&D and Line Haul - A. Duie Pyle

I think i will pass on Knight. Plus im sure its not by the hour.

Pyle called me about a year ago for a line haul job. But since i never pulled a VAN before they wouldnt hire me. I pulled tankers, Flats, Dumps and RGNs. I can pull all of them without a problem but i guess i cant handle a VAN. LMAO

I don't know if I would pass up a union job like that. The ot would be real nice, and ya gotta think about the pensions. I wish I could land something like that here in CA, but job market sucks.
