Appreciate it. Linehall or combo is it m/f? Just trying to spend more time with the kids bouth Regional jobs i took said they would get me threw the house to do a 10. Stil waiting to see that lol. Or longer home than a 34I'm not from Cincinnati but I can tell you Estes doesn't hire strictly P/D drivers anymore. You're either hired as LH, hub, or combo. So you'll be hired as combo and probably work mostly p/d if the work constitutes having you work p/d. As far as I understand the combo position anymore. You'll basically be offered whatever work there is. Still might be better than your current situation, then again it might not. Might wanna apply and see what the TM has to say about what his combo guys do. I don't know anyone from Cincy personally or on here. Good luck. Hope this helps.
My terminal hires p&d guys. Might be different at some terminals based on need.
Either way, p&d is mostly m-f but at some larger terminals they have some t-sat guys.
Linehaul extraboard is 5 on 2 off. Your start day could be any day of the week, but it won't change week to week. For example, say you hire on as a Tuesday start, you'll be Tuesday-Saturday.
Combo does whatever job is needed. Usually Monday-Friday but some are Tuesday-Saturday as needed. You might run nighttime linehaul schedules one week or work in the city another week.
Whatever job you decide to do, pick one and stick with it. We have a classification based seniority system. If you want to have a scheduled linehaul bid run one day, don't waste your time doing p&d work.
Good luck. Estes is a really good place to work. Lots of people complain but I guess that's what truck drivers do.

The money is in linehaul. Extraboard linehaul, you'll be home for about 2.5 days a week with an occasional, but rare, layover at home throughout the week. A scheduled linehaul bid, you'll be home daily while doing the same run all 5 days of the work week M-F. At a smaller terminal like Cincinnati, you'll never be able to just hire on as a bid driver. You'll need to start at extraboard and work your way up to a bid whenever people retire or die. Like drummerforhire said, if you ever want a linehaul bid, then get on extraboard asap because p&d time will not count towards seniority on linehaul. It takes 3 years to top out and I think p&d top out is $25.45 and linehaul bid is .6325 cpm. Extraboard is a half cpm or so more than a bid run.Ok so the website for the yard im looking at sayscombo local/ Regional. Would regional be line hall? Also regional how often do u see ur home 20? And the big question wheres the money at on bouth?
