Winter shut down

[Wolf_Exp]

I have only been in this business since January. Since this year has been slow and seemed to never pick up since winter shut down, and i reccently switched companies, thus i havent had time to save up money-- what are your guys' suggestions-- or plans-- for surving the winter shut down slow down? I mean everyone says that they saved up for it. But I tried and didnt make it to well because i started at a bad time it seems. What im worried about is if things are going bad already-- and things get slower during dec, jan, and feb-- am i going to survive?? LOL :+ So Im just asking for some helpful hints, or see what you guys are planning to do. Thanks

I started out the same the first winter back in 96.

in a cargo van. I dont who you haul for but I always managed to make enough to get by I dont think I had a week under $700.00
that I stayed in service.

if things get to bad at your carrier change to p2 at least they will let you find your own freight and get www.datconnect.com
getloaded,truckstop and make extra cash.

Some will say it aint nothing but cheap freight but that depends on how you do it.Remember most of the greight on them boards is just take your time ltl most are happy if you get it there the same week
so what I do is sit at home watch the weather channel and book my own loads but I can get 2 or 3 ltls going the same direction.

doing it this way you can stay at home for 2 or 3 days and do pick ups within 20 or 30 miles of home.
now thats ez trucking

I know florida is hard to get loads out of but the headhauls will pay you enough to deadhead back to atlanta if need be.
if your good at your job dont worry about it they will make you enough
