Those were the days. I hooked hundreds, if not thousands of pup sets. I liked backing the gear hooked to the front trailer. After 20 years, I retired almost 3 years ago and don't miss it at all . Ya'll be safe.
Excited to get back into LTL. After 10 yrs at Conway, I left there and had food service jobs and then over the road. I have an interview tomorrow Thursday with Saia. I should have never left LTL.
Day Linehaul?? I had a mishap on the the dock and got canned from big ole blue red (fedex freight) about a year ago. I now work at r+l and made the mistake of working at a dead end terminal with only 10 linehaul runs no day linehaul of course ;(.. How long did it take you to get days there at saia? I was very close to getting a assigned day run out of my old barn at fedex and remember filling in for day guys and loved it. It was life changing to be able to sleep at night and actually enjoy my weekends! You seem to be around my age which gives me hope if I could get in with the right barn. Oh and don't say be a city driver lol.
It took me about 2yrs to be able to bid on a run. I was in the otr system driver position for 2yrs. Then another yr went by before a early run was available for me to bid on. Most of the runs as you know in LTL run at night. I could've got a 6am route which would've be love but I wouldn't be able to go to the gym at 10am. So it definitely took some time
I saw a guy channel that vlog his Fed Ex route. He was a city driver tho, I don't know if you do city or linehaul but I'm glad I could help you decide ✌🏾
You would have to speak to a recruiter about that to get the correct answer. I know everyone's situation is different and I don't want to give you the wrong answer.
I hear a lot of drivers say it's hard getting g on over here. It definitely was hard for me I just kept applying until they called. They use recruiters now so if you call the terminal it probably won't work anyway.

Do Linehaul works the docks?

You didn’t hook up your safety chain on your dolly before you moved it and it looks like you don’t have safety shoes on.
