Are planning to chicken out already? We need real men that plan to move our freight and
not just hold a wheel.

I'm convinced this guy doesn't even drive for OD. Entertaining as hell though.

Call me what you want but you're making $27 an hr busting your ass all day loading/unloading trailers, dealing with rush hour traffic and backing into tight spots meant for straight trucks. This "steering wheel holder" is making around $41 an hour doing nothing but drops/hooks and dealing with virtually no traffic.

Here I thought you were supposed to get smarter the older you got. LOL
 
BillyLo said:
Talk to the men, not these line ladies. Where are you applying at? Hours are good everywhere right now and you'll make 28.73 top out. This is a job where if you show them what you're made of you'll be hitting 45-50 hrs a week even during the slow time.

Hell I know lazy asses getting more than that when it's slow!

In your area top wage is a bit lower billy lo is on the left cost were cost of living is outrageous. You should expect a top out of 26 and some change I believe. Linehaul is were the money is at! Little Rock probably a couple years to get a schedule run. Really just depends on what you want to do. But we can all agree OD is the best place to work!! Make sure you jump into that 401k asap especially as young as you are.

Top is $26.90 in the city right now and that's before the wage increase.

Especially line driver's. He forgets that his trailer is loaded each day, cuz a number of line driver's got the freight from point A to SEA the end designation.

Believe me, if you guys called in sick I'd run down there and grab the trailers myself. It's not tough. See you on the triangle.

Dough boy, Left coast has nothing to do with pay scale, if you don't believe this, just ask Billy, he says they pay him what he's
worth.I'm hearing his fringe benifits are in jeopardy, his boss man's yard is in need of attention, so far Billy has not made a deal with Ump to get his goats baak

Don't be a jerk he is just asking questions that affect his future.

Preparing him for attitudes he'll be dealing with here. If he shows signs of being a cry baby or gets easily offended city dispatchers will purposely make his day hell for a good laugh.

Nothing better than a 53' Liftgate and a Tandem axle Cascadia for a residential. Give that to a Line driver and he'd tear down the gate fence before even leaving the terminal except for Song because he was a good city driver before.

Nope I would do what our p@d does tell the city dispatcher that 53ft trailer is to long for city deliveries can't do it.
