I have a chance to drive for NFI, in Pennsylvania, specifically local tanker, with their Nestle contract. Wanted to touch base here to see if there were any drivers that could tell me pros and cons to help me with my decision. Any advice would be helpful. I'm a new driver, got licensed in July and have been driving for RIST LTL since Sept.

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

Hey Redknight two guys from my school are driving for NFI on their Trader Joes accounts. They both like what they are doing and are say they make $1100 to 1200 a week. They have been there 6 months and are dispatched from the Nazareth area. The only concern is that the Major Medical is VERY expensive. I have considered going with them and if my wifes benefit package changes I might be there myself. Good Luck!

Hey Rich....Thank you so much for your response. I just bumped into a tanker driver Friday at a Wawa, and he has been driving tanker for them for 7 years and is also happy with them. The company I drive for now also has very expensive, so I am paying for my own policy with Blue Cross Blue Shield. It is good to know two of your friends are there and like it. The driver I met said there are all kinds of ways to make money with them. Example, they asked if anyone was interested in running to Florida and back for a trip, and the driver who took it made almost $2K! I am hoping to start with them in mid March. Thanks again and best of luck to you.
