Where to find a good driver?

Craigslist?

 

Scroll down to the "Seeking Jobs" thread on here.Have you already bought a truck? Have you studied the OOIDA.com website concerning being an 0/0?

 

A driver that your stepfather knows that is reliable and honest.

 

Many truck owners make a small or no profit on 2nd truck in areas that are more profitable than Florida .. 80% of cheap loads outta Florida can be hard to break even on .. Unless the company you want to work for has good freight your fire fighting job may need to support the truck

 

magoo is rite ...florida is a quirky place to get out of at a good rate if you dont have the right equipment at the rite time of year .

 

Uhm...$400 will "break the bank" ? How will you handle an OTR unit burning $800 plus dollars a day in fuel ? Carrier deduct? What happens when you need $5000 worth of repairs 1000 miles from the house? Carrier is going to tell you 4Q's buddy unless it's saved in escrow or owed to you. He won't loan you that much....he will just get another truck and wish you luck. It's that simple.

Not trying to be negative here but it sure looks like a recipe for financial disaster.....but if your determined then ask the step father to find you one. Plenty out there for the right pay. Good luck.

and then theres the challenge of finding a driver that wont turn youre truck into a ghetto on wheels or abandon it god knows where .

 

Where is the "Seeking Jobs" thread? Looking to hire a driver immediately in the Dallas Ft Worth area.

How do you find a good driver? It's real simple, actually. Go to a truckstop and look for a company driver that's happy where he's at. He's wearing company swag, likes his paycheck and his dispatcher. Odds are he's a good driver. Hard part is, if he's satisfied, you're going to have to sell him on your gig.

Its really hard finding a good driver that's looking for work. You will hear drivers say that they are good drivers, but they hate everyone, from other drivers to office personnel. Do you really want to wipe another grown man's posterior?

See, there's so much more to being a good driver than just being able to navigate a truck and not hit anything. If he's crude to women, your wife is going to hate him and hate you. If he's hotheaded, you're going to have run -ins with shippers are receivers, law enforcement and other motorist...how's that for breaking the bank? If he's dishonest or lazy, he's going to drive you broke.

How can you tell he's a good driver? He's satisfied where he's at.
