For all intents and "payroll" you are a rookie. And subject to rookie pay. Too many companies are unwilling to take "your" resume as real experience. Since you are the one who verifies the experience. Check the trucking mags for your experience. There are several companies that are seeking people with experience hauling wide/oversize loads. IMO this would be your best route, pay wise. Good Luck.

| If you've got tanker experience you should be able to get on as a company driver at one of the big tanker outfits. If not that then flatbed. The big dry box haulers are all the same basically. I pulled a tanker for Chemical Leaman Tank Lines for years untill they closed the doors and I never did get used to all the BS that goes along with Van work. |

| All I can suggest is don't work percentage work by the mile and be sure you have a fuel surcharge. There are different formulas for surcharges. I'll be honest I miss it. I switched from mileage to percentage,dealing with brokers deadhead miles.Also I was leased to a carrier who never paid me that hurt.Just be careful.......and the best of luck!! |
