I don't miss food service at all. Left after a year and went to flatbed. I am wondering how much experience is needed to get on with RL Carriers because I know a guy that has about 6 month garbage truck experience and is talking bout leaving that for RL because a driver told him that he makes $500 a day and is home everyday. I personally have 7 years experience with oil fields, dry box and refer. I'm just trying to picture someone with 6 months experience of garbage truck drivin making $500 a day.

Just word of advice when dropping your tail trailer before you pull forward lock your glad hands to the mounts in the basket and you will never loose air. Or cut off the air supply from your lead and bleed the air and let it free wheel. But since you just starting connect your glad hands to the dolly basket and you will be OK. Stay safe out there and keep the rubber side down.

I was an LTL driver for 30 years, i'm retired now an don't miss it one bit. It has changed so much in the last 20 years. I used to love my job.....when i retired i hated to go work. I was with CF for the 1st 16 years. Got a decent retirement. Last 14 years with non-union carrier.....no overtime pay an it sucked.

Drivers they don't have any idea where this trucking industry it's going 😂😂😂 actually they don't know where to park Ans needs respect from shippers and receivers and companies In my opinion let's talk about trucking infrastructure and we can move on to personal conveyance

All customers need their freight, not just restaurants. I’ve been doing LTL P&D for 20 years, bring backs are pretty rare, I have maybe one every three weeks or so. The company should pay for all equipment needed to do the job.

No OT pay? Ok, I'm not applying now. I make under $4 less driving for Amazon, but I get OT every week at my location, and it's closer than the R&L locations close to me. It wouldn't be a net positive for my income.

If anyone thinks that route is hard in anyway do not! DO NOT try to work for sysco. That is a baby route over here at sysco. Hahaha smallest route i have had in the last year is 600-700 cases. Normally 800 plus and 15-19 stops.

endured orientation in order to see what the actual job was. mind yo u i am a 15 yr owner op so yes sometimes you can't teach an old dog new tricks. was put with a trainer who was proud of yrs with schneider and 6 months with rl. did his d ue diligence to make sure everyone we came in contact with that i was a rookie and a trainee. they told me that i would have my own truck. not true, our truck was shared with line haul driver. hopefully you own your power pallet jack, if not you can purchase one from rl for 4300 at 25 a week. you can probably make up for the pallet jack by lollygaggin at customers and plotting the longest routes back to terminal which is what my so called trainer made it apparent that that was his routine.
