Best LTL company?
Hey,
New guy here. Currently working for a small LTL company in central IL (been here 3 years). Looking at other options. I'm not really interested in Linehaul. P+D is what I like.
Looks like there are a million horror stories and a million good stories for each individual company, so I guess everyone has their opinions.
At my company, I am a 4 day P+D driver. I work anywhere from 12-14 hours a day. We do not get personal/sick days. We get 2 weeks vacation, but you have to take it a week at a time. The pay structure is kind of bizzare here: you have an hourly rate, but you are paid a set amount of hours per day. 5 day drivers get 12 hours per day and 4 day guys get 15 hours per day regardless of how many hours they work. Good for us 4 day guys because I'm always getting paid more hours than I work. The 5 day guys are always running around 12 hours a day or more.
I guess I can't complain too much, but this is the only LTL company I have ever worked for. I hauled grain and feed before this.
