[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1851382"] From what I read , it seems like the more senior drivers at Old Dominion bid the city runs, i.e pickup and delivery. That has to be a paid by the hour job. The younger newer drivers get on the extra board or spare list and end up with the longer mileage runs at night . Those same runs might come with the delays that you say the company doesn't pay for. Oh sure, there might be some higher seniority guys that pass over the day/city job to go line hauling at night but you can be certain that they get the runs in which the return loads are already out there in the yard or on the door ready to go while the lower senior guys get the line haul jobs that require waiting at the turn around. All speculation on my part, I suppose. That might explain why Old Dominion has to fish in the waters of a C.D.L training school. No offense to the guys who are applying there. Everyone has to start or progress somewhere. I did it when I was quite younger. And if you don't mind working nights or can handle not getting paid when your wheels aren't turning and the pay is more than decent or something you can be happy with , then good luck and enjoy. I am not being sarcastic, i wish you guys (who are trying to go with Old dominion) good luck and good fortune. [/QUOTE]
