Hello, I am excited to be training at YRC and beginning to work line haul in the next few weeks at the Wheeling, IL location. I am a newbie to trucking in general and a little nervous. I would like to know what to expect what working line haul out of Wheeling is like. Any advice for a newbie?

My working days ended back in 1990, so I can't offer you much advice, but if I was starting today I would give the Walmart greeter job some thought.
Best of luck with your new job.

Welcome. Get your 2 years experience. Keep your record clean. Then jump ship to a healthier company. This place is limping along waiting to get clipped. One behind the ear while not looking. Put down. Freed from its misery.

Other than that you’ll probably drive a truck to another terminal and back. Or to a dirt lot to meet another driver to swap trailers. You’ll probably have people flipping you off and or yell at you for taking too long to move. Um in break rooms you’ll hear a lot of super hero nonsense bullshit stories. You’ll make a couple bucks have free health care a little nest egg for retirement and a whole lot of crying bitching and complaining. Welcome to MyYellow…

That was a synergies load. They figured by next week they would have another come into 303 and take a set to Rockford instead of a single.

“ you’ll probably have people flipping you off, or yelling at you for moving too slow”.
I get that a lot too. Not sure what that’s all about.

I was told I would be home every weekend, but I have been seeing that I might be home more than that. Is that accurate?
