Trucking Throwback Thursday
Topic 32503 | Page 5
Well I guess thats what I get for not posting on an actual Thursday. I will try to upload pic later.
I forgot to post Thursday but I had seen a guy pulling a old CF trailer. Ive seen him before, unfortunately im driving and can never snag a picture. For those that do not know CF was a LTL company that closed in 2002 so that trailer is probably 25+ years old.
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
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
