Heads up — this LTL carrier just expanded to 35 service centers. Want to know what that means for drivers?
They’ve grown their network to 35 service centers across their footprint. That’s more access points for pickups and drop-offs, and it can change how lanes move and how quickly trailers turn. 🚚📍
What this likely means for you:
- Faster turns and shorter detours — more local terminals often cut down deadhead miles. ⏱️
- More short-haul or regional runs — extra service centers can create new consistent lanes. 🔁
- Better drop-and-hook/trailer-swap options — could speed up runs and reduce detention. 🔧
- Possible local hiring or shifts in pickup windows — keep an eye on schedule tweaks. 👀
On pay and rates: this kind of expansion can push volume into certain markets and add capacity — that might tighten or loosen rates depending on the lane. So don’t assume pay changes overnight, but be ready for shifting opportunities. 💸
Bottom line: more terminals usually mean smoother logistics and more local work — but pay and lane demand will depend on how shippers react. Stay flexible and watch your lanes. ⚖️
