When I did my interview I was told linehaul is point to point no dockwork, hub is point to point W/ dockwork, but depending on where you go you wont make as much money. I believe I was told a utility driver can be used anytime for any job. If I am wrong someone with more time please correct me.
That's right dlance. I've seen hub drivers do well on longer trip with a couple of hours on the dock. We used to have a 500+ mile turn hub run. The decesion on linehaul, p&d or utility pretty much depends on what terminal you run out of. I would run extraboard at a smaller terminal with a few scheduled runs. I would pick utility at a big terminal with many scheduled runs. P&d is ok if you have to see mommy every night.
Sidewinder, I took an extraboard linehaul for money reasons if it weren't for the money I would have taken the hub position that was available. I am not sure where you are or what the P & D equipment looks like, but after 1 week in p&d I know i made the right choice.
They get home on weekends. They make plenty of money. Some team drivers run schedules 5 days a week around 600 miles out and back.
