Congrats, Bobcat!!!
Good stuff Bobcat. Did you end up getting that run? You said Fort Wayne either makes you work the dock or sit for two hours. God forbid a driver gets exercise. Or has to nap for two hours. Doesn't sound bad to me at all.
As they say time flies when you are having fun, hard to believe but today is my 3 year anniversary with Old Dominion. In those 3 years especially at the beginning there where times i thought about hanging it up but have kept pushing so far, and if the cards fall right in the next few week may end up having a good run fall into my lap. Just wish I had gotten my CDL sooner instead of waiting 7 year.
Now only 35 more years till I can retire!
Ha! Got you beat! I can retire in only 25 years.
Of course I'll be 84 BUT STILL ENJOYING LIFE!!!

We haven't bid yet, they are waiting until they fill all the openings, which for some reason they are having a hard time doing.
After 1 hour of sitting you get paid to nap so there are definitely worse things to he doing. Personally I'm not cut out for dock work, too much pressure.

If I'm lucky I can do it at 65 get me a lake house and a boat and let loose.

Thanks Congratulations on making it one year!
You know I'm not sure why, I was surprised when they said that usually it isn't a problem. Maybe they did something with the runs at the bottom and it scares people off. Our Fort Wayne either makes you work the dock or you sit for 2 hours to be loaded and people hate it.
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.
