Yellow
I just applied at Yellow...$16.67 an hour to start $22.22 after 24 months. Anyone work there? How is this company? I don't hear too much about them.

Its "union", which can be a good thing....as long as you can get to be full time and join the Teamsters. Educate yourself about this, as its important.
Once you are a Teamster.... you should have excellent Health Insurance, other good benefits, and if you can work long enough you can end up with a very nice pension... 8) |
Most any LTL gig is going to pay more for your hours worked than OTR.
I work 40-45hrs/week and I'll earn ~$45k this year. If I wanted to make the big money I could bid line and work nights for ~$65k. You do earn a bit more and have good bennies at a union LTL. The downside is that it takes longer to build seniority (huge in LTL land) and on the city side of the operation some of the tractors are museum pieces. You may get laid off during the slow season (Jan-April) until you can build some seniority. |

After a few months of that I convinced my boss that I needed a newer tractor and now I drive a 3-yr old sterling. Of course the previous occupants made sure it looks like a 5-yr old tractor (trucks can look like museum pieces fairly quickly since most of the time the tractors are used for both city p/d during the day and line-haul at night). The newer tractors in my barn are semi-automatics--nice for rush hour--but I miss grinding the gears...er...floatin' the gears when I drive one. :lol: |

There is a guy that I talk to quite a bit during the week. I usually see him 2 or 3 nights a week that drives for Yellow. He told me a while back that he has been with Yellow for 42, or 43 years, cant remember exactly. He loves it. He likes the benefits, pension, and stuff.
