Thanks for this video man, I just got hired by R+L Im starting this week, it really encourages me and gives me positive vibes to start the job with great hope, thanks man! I’ll be driving class B P&D

[@dixie5795]

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.

[@marcosgarcia11084]

Awesome that you finally posted a video..likee the content at the end. Definitely should do more of it. I live out here in California (central valley). I jave a buddy that work at R&L carriers in Ceres ca. They start out at $30/hr. Been trying to get in as a P&D driver but the terminal manager keepa saying there just waiting for the "bill count" to go up....i just got my hazmat in January specifically to do LTL freight....hopefully they pick up soon.....keep the video's coming and be safe out there.

[@larryemens7894]

I work for R&L too. 100% ALL LtL companies should provide electric jacks to their drivers. I’m glad RL pays for them up front & we pay back $25 per week. Great program

[@nightfighter7452]

So you can keep it when you quit if you've paid it back🤨

[@larryemens7894]

@@nightfighter7452 if u continue to make the payments yes

[@larryemens7894]

@@nightfighter7452 yes u take it if you’ve paid off, absolutely.

What Ima do with a pallet jack if I’m not doing LTL anymore…I don’t like the fact you got to buy your own lol

[@javierlujan4281]

How much is the electric pallet jack?

[@user-zs4um9lw3n]

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.

[@x504balla]

what’s LTL and what’s p&d? im a new driver trying to find best paying local cdl jobs

[@josephgerichs6891]

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.

[@christopherpape4823]

Pretty cool stuff man. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, been doing food service for about 9 months now, pushing through it but I'll probably try jumping over to LTL sooner if not later because food service is definitely a bit grueling at times. LTL definitely looks a little bit more like what I'm looking for. We've got xpo, Estes, and abf in my area that I know of off the top of my head. You happen to have any recommendations out of those three? Appreciate your videos 👍

[@christopherpape4823]

@@SJ-ef4pv thanks. You've heard good things about Estes?

[@SJ-ef4pv]

@@christopherpape4823 There’s a guy called trucking through life. His name is Chuck works for Esters. KZbin. I’m over delivering parcels. Lol P and D doesn’t look too bad

[@Slimm513]

What size trailers y’all pulling ?

[@RawRoyalart]

I hated food and grocery service , absolutely terrible and exhausting work

[@jacobgreen1427]

Im at pfg right now. I love the pay and benefits, but I day dream about ltl and fuel hauling lol.

[@t1truckin]

Fuel is something id love to try one day. Glad the PFG pay is working for ya tho!

[@khure2609]

Is the starting pay different for guys coming in with some experience such as otr over a yr? If so do you have an idea of what that maybe? Thanks for the content as well bro.

[@t1truckin]

No, starting pay is the same for everyone. The more experience, the easier it is for them to say yes.

[@kevmoe6636]

Starting LTL soon. Leaving pfg in a week or 2

[@betogarcia9823]

do you need endorsements? haz, doubles, triples?

[@RomanEmpire16]

15 deliveries!! My god no overtime pay and wtf you are unloading too?! Wtf you basically live in that day cab man are you working 10-12 hours?

[@yesidrive]

We use electric Jacks now

[@yurdaddy310]

They don't pay for overtime?? What..

[@Bigzero.Scratcher]

[@lloydtaylor2550]

Do they pay OT?

[@marcosgarcia11084]

No unfortunately they pay straight pay

[@Bigzero.Scratcher]
