Best Company For P&D

[Pattamander]

Hello all, I am new to this forum so I apologize if I lack the typical forumesque writing skills, lol. I am coming up on having 1 year of experience here shortly, and REALLY want to get back into LTL, but specifically P&D. I worked for Central Transport for about three months doing P&D with them, which I loved.... but I left because, well, it's Central. Anyways, I'm just curious which company in your honest opinions is best all-around for P&D exclusively. I understand that companies may have you do a linehaul-type run as needed as well as dock work, but for the sake of P&D, what do you think? I do have all my endorsements as well.

Side note: The companies in my hiring area (Charleston, WV) are ABF, Old Dominion, Estes, XPO, Yellow, FedEx Freight, TForce Freight

Someone will be stop by soon to give their opinions, brag up their companies. Hey TB help this fella out.

Think Retirement. Abf and TForce are sound companies with great pensions and great insurance.
I'm retired CCX / XPO. I did great investing in 401Ks and IRAs. I have a small pension too.
It would be great to have a Teamster pension.

I work for OD but i think the best answer is which ever one YOU think is the best. Every company is different and every terminal in each company is different

 

[Dwell Time]

Not sure where your based out of but out in my neck of the woods its either OD or go be a feeder driver for UPS.

Feeder driver for UPS is top of the food chain. ABF is good since you get a pension. Anywhere else its probably the people you work for.

100% agree. Friends who work for UPS feeders are making north of 150 k, superior benefits and retirement. Ltl has fallen behind by so far it’s ridiculous.

When Con-way started making drivers pay for insurance and discontinued the pension was the beginning of the end . That’s the moment they “jumped the shark”.

I saw a package delivery driver that had hair down to his shoulders, and a beard just as long, in 7-11, a few days ago. Couldn't believe it.

If it wasn’t for the uniform, it’s hard to tell between a UPSer and a Ground guy…..
