what do you mean income may very limited? From what I was told, I would make around 60K my first year as long as I work. I need to work, I'm not calling in sick or turning anything down....my first year, ANYWHERE, you have to pay your dues. good things happen to those who wait, and landing a lscheduled run is just that. Pay your dues and get some seniority under your belt, then bid on a run.
not all LTL moved 2300-0400, don't fool yourself there will be any consistency to call times. Income may be limited means just that. Look over in the Holland boards. One guy there is only getting 1-2 days a week. My first year I was "Promised" 45,000$ +, W-2 gross for that year was 32,500. LTL is a strange, fickle beast and union LTL even more sowell, as I have stated before I did a brief stint in LTL and know how extra board works. So no big worries! The best thing about LTL is no more fighting for a spot at the truckstop! I'll always have a place to park and take a break! And I know ABF uses CLC cards so if I know I'll be in a major city and know where I will laydown at(on weekend) I'll call CLC and they can book me a room. Weekend work? lol BRING IT ON! Better shows on sirius/xm at night AND on weekends! Plus, it's alot more laid back(to me) driving on the weekend. Nights? lol SAME THING! You cover way more ground than the daytime, plus alot less traffic. I'm sure if I get a call(extra board) it'll be between 2300-0400. LTL moves freight at night and during the day is usually scheduled runs. However, I can be called to cover one, I'm sure(from what I was told) someone further up the list will take it before I get the call, seeing how everybody wants to drive during the day as opposed to nighttime.
