Can anyone tell me if you work on a road board at a terminal can you transfer to another terminal if they start to hire?

yes and you get your company senority after 90 days. if its a new term it don't matter you'll be at the top. most of all welcome to the boards. get everyone on here

[Matt]

Apparently there's enough freight from CHI 028 to HAR 024 that we've got to use outside carriers to haul it...and that's been over the at least the past 3 weeks Between Landstar and Benefit.. I'm sure we could have employed a few more road guys Wait, if you speak English or you can't slide your Fifth wheel ( and wanna tear off your mudflaps ) you probably arent qualified

Every terminal is ran differently from the next.. so it's hard to say how soon they'll call you. I'm sure if they need Road guys that bad, and you're qualified. (You can breath, right?) They'll be giving you a call. When I applied here, they called me back the day after I put my app in. We had a competent TM then.
