Will double check it sir! Was trying to find some specific info as to what an example of a weeks schedule looks like, as well as what training may specifically entail.

Thank you again

Hello Bret P, welcome to our forum!

If you haven't seen it yet, you should read Six Strings Thread about starting and working for Old Dominion. There's a lot of great information in that read.

LTL:

Less Than Truckload

Refers to carriers that make a lot of smaller pickups and deliveries for multiple customers as opposed to hauling one big load of freight for one customer. This type of hauling is normally done by companies with terminals scattered throughout the country where freight is sorted before being moved on to its destination.

LTL carriers include:

  • FedEx Freight
  • Con-way
  • YRC Freight
  • UPS
  • Old Dominion
  • Estes
  • Yellow-Roadway
  • ABF Freight
  • R+L Carrier

Linehaul:

Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.

Have an interview with FedEx freight as apprentance on Friday. Fingers crossed. I have no experience and this would be great for now. Do they do a agility test in the interview? Just wondering because I failed it with Schneider and I am worried.
