Thank you for the reply. I'll head over Monday

You mean they are hiring??

We're always hiring. It's like a revolving door on our city side. Can't find anyone who wants to work nowadays.

Yea, I probably won't feel as though I'll need to lube up my backside as often once I switch sides

I haven't had to once in almost 4 years, seems that OD is on antidepressants or something. They aren't ever in the mood.

No doubt! This really isn't about them being a bad company. Yea, it can be somewhat militant over here, but primarily I'm just getting too old to work 8 hour dock shifts between driving from point A to B and back

OD hired a lot of people fresh from school who's welfare run out so of course they're happy to be making this money vs the drug money they made before becoming a truck driver.

Well I guess that means I am too, I make almost 40k more a year than when I was at Con-job.

Now wait. Its my understanding that things are so good over at the big "O", that lubrication will no longer be necessary. So, if hired on, FedEx Lube will officially have the name changed to "DryHump". Why am I always talking in the 3rd person???

Thinking of jumping to OD myself. I have some good friends/ex co-workers there, and they have nothing but good to say about it. Personally, I'm getting too old for the continual 11-12 hour days (city, in the winter???), so an 8-9 hour day, with an occasional 10-hour day, is quite appealing to me. Sure, there's no OT pay, but I don't want or need the OT.

Exactly! While obviously LTL wherever you go is no picnic, I feel if I can make an improvement in my overall quality of life while I'm still able too, then I think that'll be beneficial.
I'm mean hell, jumping ship is always scary and potentially risky, but I just can't help but think that I can do better than 8-10 hours on the dock each night.

Is the grass always greener? Lol
