Over 25 at least but more than that now for sure,,, reddaway only tops out at 64 cpm for line also lmao,,, goats makin more those guys do
That’s funny cause I grossed 1900 last week driving 2658 that week. This week I’m going to make $2000+ guarantee. I seen OD line haul checks and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I do envy them being home everyday though. I’m only 3.5 months in the trucking business and Reddaway pays good. If you don’t believe I can show you my paychecks. Low cpm but get paid for all work. Wait time, breakdown, drops and hooks, shop time, fuel, inconveniences etc. and it’s stress free.
No they won’t
But when the quarterly numbers come out none of those companies come even close to being as efficient as OD. Running in the 70's all the time is incredible!
Incredible? For who? For investors and corporate. I wish we could have a piece of pie instead of crumbs.
I am saying it is an incredible accomplishment! I keep wondering how long OD can keep it up and quarter after quarter I continue to be amazed! So many companies in all sorts of industries or poorly run and managed, especially trucking, that when I see a company turning those kind of numbers I can appreciate it even if I don't work there.
Just a theory but what if ABF didn’t pay into the pension for every employee and didn’t pay for the employees plus their families healthcare and didn’t pay massive amounts of overtime would they have numbers like OD or are they just making good numbers at Abf and taking care of the employees well as is
Exactly! Why should OD penalize you by cutting your hours when they re making money hand over fist. I believe they will allow guys to work over 50, if they want to. I hope so anyway
I don’t think Old Dominion is going to penalize anybody for working overtime, However they are not going to give away time and a half like it’s candy if they can make money by allowing you to work over 50 I think they’ll be all in. However I believe the service center managers better have their game real tight when they have to explain the overtime hours to their bosses I wouldn’t want to be a dispatcher who brought people in two hours before their first delivery that may be hard to explain it’s going to be a big learning curve I wish him the best of luck and as a linehaul driver all I can say is thank you 0D
It's easy Tolls when you have the all-time Mastio champ it's no problem to operate in the 70s.
What?
Don't what, ask Billy!
If you look at a company’s ability to pay vs what they offer, it says a lot about the management of said company. In light of how profitable OD is, the increase is terrible. That leads me to believe that OD won’t do anything for its employees unless they perceive a threat either to their profits, or from organizing action.
Well my friend as far as organizing you got a better chance of seeing God before ODL allows that to happen and yes the raise could’ve been a little more perhaps but what bothers me the most is if we start operate in the high 70s they were consider that a slap in the face And the shine will be off of us, how are they going to react. You you can’t keep getting your OR lower I mean what are you doing operate at 20 in 10 years?
I don’t disagree. OD prob start firing people at the slightest whiff of organizing. Just making the point that they could have given us much more, but they didn’t want to. The question is why? Why not at least match inflation with 5% or so. As far as your question, maybe that is their goal. Drive down the OR no matter what.
Right now they don’t pay overtime until after 60
Yup ! No matter what
