Buisness is picking up and they are hiring. I see a few female drivers. I don't think they have a problem with females. Fed ex is hiring nearly all who applies from what I've been seeing lately. You may want to check them out also.

Hummmmm I think mildew is saying something here ? Can't put my finger on it but there is a funny there

Just to clear things up a little. They appear to be the swift transportation of the ltl world. Lol

 

[Matt]

But with higher pay and better bennies and better trucks.

Thank you guys for your input!

Casper girl,
did you try another line of work since august and now want to get back in the truck? I have been trying to bail out of LTL and do something different, but have that gut feeling I may be back.

 

[CasperGirl]

Charlie, I had to come off the road due to some situations at home, but now that is finally settling down I am want to go back out. I tried "bailing out" a few years ago lol didn't work. I got the "fever" lol. Not to mention I made alot more money on the road.

from what i've heard on the street almost all ltl companies are hiring :banana:,except those owned by yrc, and abf :hissy:. not sure what part of the country you are at, but here(wi. and ill.) we have freight falling off the dock .

Yea that's what my old buds over there are telling me.
I've gotten used to the fx set-up now, so I think I'll hang out here a little longer, like maybe till retirement? Lord willing. I'm just glad things are picking up for everybody! Boy that was a long hard winter we just went thru for sure. One for the books, weather and economy wise both.

I hope the floods of this weekend did'nt hurt you guys down there loon, bad deal up in middle and west TN. as I'm sure you probably know.
We had alot of rain in East TN. but missed the flooding thank God.
