I live close to York, PA. and was wondering if anyone has worked for this company before? I'm an owner operator and things have really slowed down for me so now I need a company job again. Hopefully someone here has worked for them and can tell me more about them. Thanks

 

Are you talking about Central Transport the LTL company?

 

So....why not just lease your truck in to a decent carrier? If it is an 04 or newer Central will take you on as an O/O. In fact..most decent companies will. USF GlennMoore comes to mind...so does Cressler / Keen in Carlisle.

I have a close friend at the Columbus terminal and a cousin at the Cleveland terminal. They are an LTL company. Very different from OTR. Alot of duties besides driving. What would you like to know? Do you want road or city P&D? LTL is not for everyone.

 

Thanks for the responses. But yeah I was thinking about the P&D side but not sure what there road drivers do. I used to work at FedEx national/Watkins a few years back and your right, not everyone is made for P&D. I've looked into leasing on with someone else but my wife doesn't want me to keep being an owner operator.

 

Here in OH P&D starts around 17.50? Tops out around 20.50 maybe 21? I know overtime doesnt start until after 50 and not very many people get more than 50. Equipment is marginal at best. Their shops are on very strict budgets and dont like to fix much. At alot of their terminals they start you as a dock w/cdl combo with a late start time. But seniority doesnt mean alot there so if you're good at P&D you could probably get a route pretty quickly. As LTL cos go they are a bottom feeder and their turnover is high. But, that also means there is usually plenty of work for the new guy and you move up fast. Road drivers start around .38/mile and most all of them work the dock at the hub. If you are unfortunate enough to be close to a hub you'll end up with a short run and a long nite on the dock. I have a cousin who started in P&D and got a route immediately but he had 25 yrs experience and knows every street in town. He got our other cousin in as a road driver and has a sweet run to Lansing every nite at around 520 round trip. Like I said it a chit company but there is some good work if your in the right place at the right time and they like you.
