There is a job posting for a linehaul driver in Harrisburg, PA. I thought I read on here people are laid off there. Is this ad for real? I got a buddy that lives near there and he asked my opinion(I don't work for roadway so I'll ask you, my buddy is computer free and can't use one). If anyone knows if they are hiring for linehaul please let me know so I can pass the information on.
If you are hiring there please give me some details like how many miles the average runs are for new drivers and the pay and how long out. All that fun stuff. Thanks in advance guys.
Hiring
......Sounds great dont it!!!!!!
In all this confusion and cut throat smoke and mirrors they are indeed coming up short on workers..lol...WELL GO FIGURE.
Tell your friend that if he is ready for the long struggle to the top and mentaly conditioned for frustration like he has never seen before He cant really make a better choice for employment. Going to be a tough couple of years though before he really gets his foot firmly in the door.
Be ready for the casual and percentage worker status here and keep smiling and deal with it.once you are free of that there is indeed a great future here.
Working line haul for the breakbulks is probably where he will find the work at the moment.
He will have to be ready to give up on life as he knew it!
Will be on call 24-7 until he has 6 trips in for the week.
He will have little choice of where he goes being on the bottom of the extra board but I can promise you he will make his way around the system and fill his pockets.
Be ready to make money while the freight is hot cause when things slow down there is always the threat of lay-offs for the first couple of years.
Road trips are usually either a daily turn wich will bring you back home for the night or a day out within a 600 mile radius of the start point where they will put you in a hotel for 10 hours then start you off for home.On occasion you can be double beded and may be out for over 3 days.
Good pay!.....good bennefits....a safe pension,and a union to make it all secure! If he can deal with the initial frustration and play the game by the union rules,we all welcome him to the sweatlocker and wish him the best cause his future here will insure ours! GOOD LUCK to you.
