Greensboro is hiring for Line. Can anyone give me info on how does OD line operate out of Greensboro.
My main question would be:
Run 6 days mandatory?
When you first start you will automatically be wild?
How do you pick up days off when running wild?
Drop & hook pay?
Starting off mileage pay?
How many years to top pay?
How many years currently until you will be able to bid on a turn or out & back bid?
How many guys were recently furloughed or laid off with covid? And did they get call backs
Any other info that you guys may have, please throw in! Thanks

In the beginning, your first day out, most likely Thursday or Friday 99% guaranteed you will go to Jersey City, NJ and take 10 in the bunk house. The next 2 days you will shuttle freight around New England, (New Haven, Providence, Boston, Portland e.i.. the 4th day central will reposition you so that you can make it back home on your 5th day. 48 hours off for every 5 days on.
Don't expect to get a turn for at least 5-7 years.

Thank you for your response driver. Its a huge lifestyle change for me so definitely something to think through.. I'm used to laying over one or 2 days but not full weeks. Thanks for the honest response
Bunk house, I never knew that we had those. Man, it’s been years since I stayed in a bunk house. Brings back memories.

I think JCY is the last one in the entire system. I'm guessing those weren't pleasant memories...
No, it was for Airport freight between Phoenix and LAX. What a crap hole.
What was the name of the Truckstop in PHX that burned down off of McDowell & 17; before 10 was finished? Teapot or some variation, thereof...
Probably like living in Goober’s gas station.
Joey, have you ever stayed in an OD bunkhouse?........
You guys don't really want to know about bunkhouses in the 50s.
Your bunkhouses are like the Trump Tower compared.
I know the place. I just can’t remember the name.

And you can't put lipstick on a pig is all I will say about the place
I looked it up. The Roadrunner Truck Stop. Closed down in 1991.
I was there the day it burned, as a civilian. Watched it go, very quickly.
Kitchen grease fire if I recall.
I remember the news of the fire, I drove for Shamrock Dairy, just north of there. You probably remember the big sign.
First time there in late 70’s. Long layover, truck issues. Hotter than blu blazes. Finagled a parking spot, for a week. Quite an eye opener. Right up there with Ontario 76 in the 70’s.
