ODFL | Is it OD going on strike?

There's a reason we're drivers and not upper management. This company thrived before us and will long after we're gone. I love reading the comments from drivers that more than likely couldn't do a recap in a paper log book but can run a trucking company.

What’s a logbook? For that matter, what’s a recap? Geez, I just drive a truck.

No wonder Billy's on your case, a recap is what you run on the drive axle!

Oh I see. Is that why I get all of the road noise. I thought a recap was carrying more than one cap, so I drive with one cap, pull into SEA and change caps. Thus recapping myself. Hahahaha.

It's almost like they've overstaffed for this.But still I understand not hauling cheap freight just so they can go back to UPSF after the strike.And maybe they already know what kinds of freight we would be dealing with.

Our management in SAC is a good amount of former XPO.Some things have gotten better.But we don't hear :: about anything.

A little off topic, but what determines MPH limit?

Some Cascadias are 65, some are 68+ maybe 70.

Good question, in all my vast years of experience and knowledge, I find, it all depends on ...."How Hard You Mash Your Motor"

Seems like all nonunion overhired now not enough work even with UPSF down.
The only ones who did not, tried but could not incite interest (YRC).

Our terminal tractor speed is based on the length of the run-
600-624=68mph
624 and over=70mph
Since we share tractors some drivers will have a 68/70mph tractor on a shorter run because they swap with a driver who's on a longer run.

I thought recap was lawn care slang for customer who wanted a recut of their grass?

Sheesh if you run 624 or over the other driver must run the tractor when your in the bathroom
