TForce Freight- Local home daily

Transforce is the largest carrier in Canada with a bunch of USA companies under their belt as well .. some regional jobs are great others suck I hear . I only know a few in Quebec that did local and they were steady all day.

 

Guys that I know who work for them in my area are happy. Lots of freight and decent pay.
I have never worked for them but as mentioned by Magoo1968, they own alot of companies throughout North America.

I imagine like any other large carrier it varies between locations as to what working for them is like.

 

They're LTL, which means they'll haul everyday household items - cleaners, lithium batteries, etc. - that in large enough quantities require hazmat placards. Also large liquid totes, that require a tanker endorsement.

When I was doing LTL linehaul (a different company) I was paid by the mile for driving (actually a few miles more than I actually drove, since they rounded up, sometimes generously, between their terminal locations), and hourly for non-driving such as fueling, dropping, hooking, building and breaking sets of doubles, and time working the dock. The time I spent driving didn't count toward my weekly hours worked, so I never got OT even though I was putting in 60+ hour weeks. Still, the pay wasn't bad for a rookie driver.

 

Used to be UPS freight. LTL outfit. It's a good job

 

Union job. A bunch of guys from Yellow went there

 

It's Overnite, sold back to TFI by UPS about a decade ago.. UPS still owns their old terminal like the one on 40 in Conover, NC.. Overnite was known for massive and violent strikes; same owners..

Dirty beat up equipment like Yellow and Overnite had, and they don't advertise pay so it's probably $1,200 a week after taxes. They will be selling again..

FYI Teamsters do nothing for drivers besides keeping them from getting fired without a hearing..

 

Thanks for your uninformed yet limited insights on Tforce/ teamsters.

The entire contract, including wage info, is public info and can be viewed online.
It is only around 100 pages and can provide you with better, and more importantly..
Correct info before you post on a subject!

 

Yeah, was going to say about the same thing.
"Massive and violent strikes at Overnight"?
Name one.

 

FYI This guy don't have a clue ....
