Top recommended companies in Columbus, Oh

Most LTL companies will offer similar pay and benefits. The difference arises in cost of benefits and/or work rules at a specific company. Expect at least $22/hr for P&D work and mid 50's to mid 60 cpm on mileage pay. Some outfits pay time and a half after 40, 45, 50 hours per week, some carriers like R&L pay no overtime at all.

Estes
Saia
Old Dominion
UPS Freight
Pitt Ohio
Dayton Freight
YRC
R&L
ABF

These are all LTL carriers that will likely offer decent pay and hometime (every day or every other day).

 

There's a guy on here that works for Dayton Freight, he speaks highly of them. I'm betting he'll be along to answer any specific questions you may have about that outfit. I'm a Union guy, but I'd go to Dayton if something ever happened at my job. Just my 2 cents.

 

I work for Dayton. LTL is a good gig if you want to be home and make good money and benefits.

 

@Bob Dobalina can go in to specifics, but most LTL linehaul moves at night and P&D runs during the day.

 

City (P&D) drivers work days, starting between 7 and 10am according to seniority and top out at $25.30/hr right now with overtime after 40 hrs. Linehaul drivers start at 9pm and top out at $0.63/mile. That's what I do and I gotta go to bed!

 

The drivers I know do a dedicated drop & hook every night and back home. They drive day cabs. Don't know how the pay breaks down.
