E-Units

How active do you all recruit solo E-units? I know a lot of people say solo any unit is rough at times. But, I want to keep my options open and may be willing to upgrade my class B CDL to a class A if it was worth it.

Thanks,
Jay

Oh yeah...Go Colts! lol

E Units (tractors) will typically run more than any other vehicle type. This is because the tractors are the most versatile unit - they can haul A, B, C, D and E freight loads. Even hauling a van load (2 pallets or less, generally 2500 pounds or less) they are still compensated in the 70 cent to a dollar range. Hauling C or D loads they are paid somewhere in the $1.00 to $1.35 range per loaded mile. This is more than if the tractor was leased to a truckload carrier (not expedite) where they are generally compensated at 85 cents to $1.05 per mile, all miles.

By the way, what happened to those Colts yesterday??? Can't talk, my Steelers looked terrible. At least you'll have the playoffs.

Good luck,

Not sure about Indy. The D has had the injury bug all season. We have lost too many key plays on that side of the ball.

But, if you think about it...3 of the 4 games we have lost was by 7 or less. So...all the D would have to do is make one more stop in the 1st half and 1 more stop in the 2nd half and we would have won 3 of the 4 games. All they have to do is wake up and tackle a little better...

You would really need to contact each company individually. Experience is not the only qualifying criteria when hiring a driver. Moving violations and the number of jobs you have held are just some of the factors that will also come into play.

Good luck in your ventures.

GO COLTS (Just until next season, at that point I return to being a die-hard Steelers fan!)

Thanks. I am sure the Steelers will do well. My oldest brother has been a Steeler fans since Mean Joe Green and Franco Harris.
