I have a friend who says he can hook me up at a local OD terminal. He tells me that there are basicly 3 options.
1. P&D - I don't want to do, would rather drive linehaul or what he calls "system".
2. Linehaul - As I understand, it's a dedicated trip to the same place every day (or night).
3. System - I haven't seen this term used anywhere on the forums. He says that you are basicly dispatched from terminal to terminal as needed.
My questions are about the "System" job as that seems to be my pick.
1. Do you get home "most" weekends and for how long?
2. Do they put you up in motels if your running the system?
3. Is this mostly terminal to terminal work?
4. I would be based out of Memphis or L.R., would I stay in the southeast most of the time?
I'll ask more questions later, just trying to feel this LTL thing out a little. Please keep in mind these questions are not requirments for me to accept the job. I'm just trying to get an idea of what's in store.
Thanks, Arky
