Regardless of what Charlie Tuna says about other companies, FXF will give you OT after 8 and/or after 40. You don't have to work there first for years, you don't have to live in a specific area of the country, except maybe CA which does it's own socialistic things, stand on your head or click your heels three times and say "Fred Smith is da bomb"

Well if I'm not mistaken, CGX (Summit) covers half of Chicago proper. Schaumburg covers the northwest suburbs. Schaumburg has a much larger territory because they have a much larger facility. The pay is the same throughout Chicagoland.

You can hide you're head in sand all you want, the truth is there are several other ltls that pay ot after 8 as proved with my thread over in xpo forum, that you choose not to recognize because it doesn't fit you're narrative.
Ya, right. So admit it: You want to say their OT after 8 benefit is equal to ours? Their OT after 8 is THE SAME as ours?
Go ahead. Jeopardy song is playing.

What in the world are you talking about? If someone gets ot after 8 yes it's the same as us getting it after 8. By my count there are 8 other ltl's that get ot after 8, but if it makes you feel better you can tell everyone were the only ones that get ot after 8 daily.

A legit 8,not some Micky Mouse, super regional, 45 total employees mom and pop carrier.
Name 7 other LtL companies that operate in every state, that pay OT after 8hrs,COMPANY-WIDE.
By my count, I only come up with 4. 4 of the major carriers.

You are correct with this one. I want to see which other ones he digs up because there isn’t any others
I don't see the significance (or fairness) of narrowing the parameters to such an extent. We went from "LTL carriers", in general, all the way to redefining the challenge to include ONLY carries operating in EVERY State.
I doubt seriously that a driver in <insert location> cares one bit about whether his company is in EVERY State. Seems irrelevant to the conversation.
I was more curious about the original 8, regardless of regional or multi-regional status.
What happens if we add retiree healthcare your (long) list of qualifiers?

XPO is not company wide and pitt Ohio only pays it after you been there 2 years. Anyone with legitimate knowledge feel free to correct me.

Let's try this again.
I'll type extra slow, so do read extra slow, and soak it all in.
Of the MAJOR carriers, that operate NATIONWIDE, there are FOUR carriers that pay OT, to ALL city drivers, across ALL state lines, regardless of your tenure.
While most, I think, look more at wage rates, when shopping employers, the endless (driver) job openings will lead more to look more closely at the complete benefit packages. In THAT area, FXFE compares pretty favorably. Still, in basic wage rates, bottom tier geographic pay differential (GPD) makes it difficult to hire, in many areas.

I heard good things about Schaumburg from the folks at Toledo. Chicagoland was a common place for Canadian freight to go to or come from, and it was usually through Schaumburg.

Listen you all said there were only 4 ltls and I proved you wrong regardless of your requirements. I don't understand why you even care. You don't work at any ltl right? You claim to have left because of stagnant wages correct? We make pretty good money if you get a decent amount of ot.

OT after 8 has become a surprisingly hot topic. I do know that FedEx is the only one that offers it on a national scale without a contract, and getting that OT matters to people coming from the regular world where people paid by the hour get OT after 8. And a lot of drivers get OT these days.
Holland, New Penn Motor Express and Reddaway all share much of their compensation and benefits package with YRC, as you might imagine, so naturally they get it as well.
So if you count the same-contract nature of the YRC regionals as just a blanket YRC (there's scuttlebutt going around right now that the regionals might get folded in, and the union isn't saying no, so it's not unrealistic to do so) there's really just over a handful of carriers that offer it at all. When you consider, for example, how big OD and Estes are compared to who offers OT after 8, it raises questions.

I agree but...the GPD is only one of several variables as to why some locations may have trouble filling openings but is it the “deal breaker”, I doubt it.
You’re just not gonna lure good qualified drivers away from other companies which leaves us with those who’ve recently been terminated (or left for whatever reason) or greenhorns...and since there’s no abundance of greenhorns, we’re left with what we can get...either way, our starting wages (along with our total benefit pkgs) are comparable, even in the lowest GPD areas, which brings us back to the possibility of OT which directly effects one’s potential wage rate.
I can tell you with certainty it’s one of the main reasons I left Wilson for AF...because they offered OT!!
