If you had to guess, your first guess would probably be right.

orientation starts wednesday so hopefully a long weekender for friday.

idk either way im going to work my way up to being a fleet owner myself. and yeah i know everyone its a waste of my time and i wont make any more money than i do now even though theres all these fleet owners making a living without doing a mile of the driving themselves. (thats not nessesarily...

17.5%.....18% once my co driver gets his fingerprinting done. in a nutshell ill get $250 for every thousand miles we do together. Thats also not including the various bonuses and deadhead. It seems like a good gig to me.

well, first of all, according to my owner, again according to my owner, its totally illegal for someone to pay someone to drive their truck that they own for them and not pay them as an employee. I dont remember his exact reasoning but it made sense, just one of those things that never gets...

yeah, im not looking forward to sleeping in a moving truck but i think ill be able to adapt to it. Ive dealt with hating co drivers when i was trained for TTs, real pos that guy was. Ive had a few long conversations with my new driver and he seems like someone ill get along pretty good with. We...

Im the same way. In a van id be running pretty unsafe because in order to get my miles id run a 600 mile run then sleep for a few hours then get a call about another one going 800 mile and i take it just because i know if i dont ill probably sit. Im looking forward to having the HOS actually...

yeah i kinda do know most of it already, i dont really know exactly what im looking for. how they handle differently, if its way harder to manuever in traffic in a straight, special things to be aware and looking out for (besides the obvious) that wouldnt be a concern in a van. etc. i dont...

who?

I had about 4 months exp in a TT when i decided i didnt like it. it was definitely due to the sheer size of what i was driving. So i got into van expediting. Did that for about a year with breaks in between. Now ive decided to give straight trucks a try, driving for an owner of course...

That sucks. He should get back into expediting so he has zero.

First time I went through port huron I remember thinking to myself "this is the myrtle beach of the north" they are very similar layouts....except you have a lake and we have an ocean.

This guy gets it.

Yeah. I live in myrtle beach SC so it's all tourism economy here. Not much to earn. Hell local class a deliveries make only like 13 to 17 an hour. So my experiences with a "regular job" are a bit skewed. I still wouldn't wanna do it over expediting.

Since the end of last year I've worked a "regular job". 10 dollars an hour. I make about 300 a week working full time. No benefits. Yes a tiny bit of my taxes are being paid by getting the w2. By the way, unless you have a degree or technical skill, coming across a job with benefits isnt easy...

Look, you'll make more expediting than you will at a regular job, as people are suggesting You do instead. But, it's a lifestyle and not a job. Do not invest money into it into you are sure you'll be willing to follow through. Expediting has a fantastic try before you buy program, driving for...

Every time you go out of state? Thats really terrible I feel for you. This is an expediting company?? Go home, take your stuff out of the van, then tell them you want to bring the truck back. I'm sure they hold your pay a few weeks, get ready for them to screw you out of that. Not much you can...

Why give any new business a chance? Why give any of the big known companies a chance when they were first getting started? But yes, i would imagine from being in a bind at first. Then when you delivered above and beyond, maybe youll be the first call next time they need some help. Theres...

This is purely out of curiosity. Seems like when you sign on to a major carrier like panther, landstar express, V3, etc, you are under their authority and sign something saying you won't run loads for any other carrier (because you're using their insurance, dot and ein numbers, etc) So what...

The real question is can I get AS HIGH as the Canadian Rockies? I am willing to make the sacrifice to find out. Lewis and Clark will be rolling in their grave if I don't.
