FedEx Freight | Line Driver

I think it must be that monthly hormonal thing. Seems to be getting worse.

Good Luck, I myself had been thinking about going over to Line/road again. My problem is staying awake, putting back on a lot of weight, my relationship with my girlfriend of 7yrs. Not getting the proper, under disturbed sleep, and maybe having to work the dock in-between.

Back east where I am from and started my career as a truck driver, we called them line drivers too. Out west, I guess they call them road drivers, why? we are both on the road, or does a city driver drive on the street?

When I was at OD we called it Line haul, and therefore line haul drivers. My definition of a road driver would be one who has a sleeper truck, and runs the gamut of the lower 48.

He does seem to be a bit more ornery these days doesn't he? Maybe it's the stress of the new scorecards getting to him.

They took his name off of his truck and now can't figure out how to find it.

There are a few freight companies still running sleepers. If you have to live in that truck for weeks at a time running the lower 48 there are plenty of button feeders who can satisfy your needs. I like being a division line haul driver. 11 hours in the truck, then head for the hotel. TP

Someone's wound a little tightly tonight.
Will you be safe to drive tonight, ST?

I was told that it was much safer being a day time driver and night time driving was for low seniority drivers and rookies.

Hey ST!

You are driving day runs, aren't you, Mr. 30 year road driver?

There are a lot more old line drivers, then there are old local drivers.

You've got to be pretty damn tough to be an old local driver---

 

[Richard Cranium]

Define old, please.

Old is when your thong starts to sag....

Not to worry RC has suspenders.

Wanna see a picture of RC in his thong with suspenders?

 

[River17]

RC.......this next winter you need to hang a GoPro camera from your left mirror bracket aimed backwards,
so we can watch you hanging chains in your purple thongs.

Make sure to ask the shop to install those Canadian flood lights on the side of your truck looking back,
so your camera can find you in the dark.

Oh dear......

Define old, please.

Being the vintage that I am, and the fact that I'm a cancer survivor that was told I would not be able to return to work, I think I qualify as to being old, and tough.

Hey ST!

That's the best you've got? you evidently don't understand the business. You know I work in an end of line facility, and thus have no chance of a day run. Yet you post this? No wonder you're so unhappy, working in an industry you don't even begin to understand, as evidenced by your hatred of Viking, then FedEx. Those who are ignorant hate everything they don't understand.
