Default A. Duie Pyle

Any one ever drive for them??

I am going to get my hazmat hopefully by the end of this week. Well im going to take the test. Then have to do the fingerprinting and all the stuff. So in like 30days i will have my hazmat.

They are looking for night time linehaul driver. The only way i will drive LTL is if it is linehaul i want nothing to do with P&D.

My dad has a real good buddy who has been there for 15+ years he is in management. But he is in the wharehousing part of it. So i will be giving him a call this week. If anybody knows anything about them let me know.

Thanks
MACKMAN

Did you dump the girl??
I thought you didnt wanna do night time work? Thats what linehaul is.

Why not do P&D?
You can have alot more of a life.

We are still together always will be :wink: She will be my sugarmomma when she gets out of college.

We talked about it and i have to do something. Dump Truckin is cool and all but it is getting tuff. OT dropped off again. Im looking inot a couple diff. jobs right now. 1st i got to get my hazmat which im doing right now then alot more doors will open.


I just dont think i can handle P&D. Alot of BS with that part of LTL. (so i think) I will much rather just do linehaul.

PS it should only take around two weeks to get your letter back for Hazmat, unless you have a background. :twisted:

Well i made some phone calls today to fine out more info.

THE GOOD
Linehaul drivers make 58-68k a year
All linehaul runs are paid hourly. NO CPM
If you do a overnight run company sets you up with a room.
Great benefits.
No ON-CALL
Yard is 6miles away from my house

THE BAD
OT after 45hrs
Starting rate 16/hr (with in 6 months 19-20/hr)



My dads friend who i called told me if i pass the hazmat test on friday or saturday put in the app. right away dont wait.

Also they will need a resume. Never made a resume before most trucking jobs dont ask for one. Guess when my GF comes home from college this weekend i will make her make one for me. :lol:

So what do you all think :?:
