Keep On Trucking!
Topic 32498 | Page 1
WOW, Flatie! It's been almost 5 years! Welcome back! Glad you stopped in!
That's a nice gig you have. How long have you been at Estes? How do you like LTL?
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
Well… I’ll be.
Time does fly by, doesn’t it? Nice to hear from you.
Holy cow, a blast from the past! So glad to see you back around, and glad to hear you're doing so well.
We love success stories!
I'll always recognize that handle instantly. Glad you're still doing well! Don't be a stranger.
Goodness gracious!
It's like having a long lost cousin show up at your door step. We are thrilled to see you are still out here!
That gig sounds almost perfect. Congratulations!
I don't know why, but I just want to give you some dancing bananas...
DANG it’s been a long time! Happy to see I’m not the only one that wandered back in here after a few years lol. Nice gig!

So I haven't been out here in a long time.
How is everyone?
Me?? I'm still trucking like most of us here, so far so good and I've been doing line haul for few years now.
I run a little under 550 miles daily with a wiggle 99% 5 days a week and no work on major holidays.

Line Haul:
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.
