Hey guys, I can tell you about the truckload division..It is now at 11 black freightliners and they pull strickly for Columbia Flooring out of Danville, Va. and Martinsville, Va. I just talk to one of the drivers last night and he likes it alot...it has pretty darn good payalso...they also have two more trucks that pull for Polo in Thomasville, N.C. and you may see this more and more...I don't think there is no flat bed service..I have not heard of it nor seen any. The driver told me these trucks run 75mph and pull like a dream, cause of there heavy loads. I'm not sure of the milage pay, but some were close to .40cents a mile, 50.00 dollars a night tosleep in the truck, and 32.50 each time he bumps a dock picking up and delivering. Of cousre they pay all tolls, and expenes'
also pay them to fuel trucks and have the same benifits as LTL..Now another driver also said he kept the same milage pay he had on LTL when he switch over and he had 10 years on LTL..and if he wants to switch back he has to start on the bottom of the board but keeps his company senority...the 10 guys laid off p&d in Gbo got this offer..and there checks are paid directly just like before from OD..So must be a pretty good deal and if it makes a lot of money expect to see more and more nationwide....all this I am telling you came right from the drivers of the TL's mouth..in Gbo.....hope this helps you guys out...
