Don't know if he is in "never-never land" but with the right attitude and a willingness to basically live in that truck it is "possible" to make it work for you especially if you add a second driver into the mix. Of course a willingness to be on the road for several weeks at a time is in short supply today. It does not matter which company you look at. You can ALWAYS find a few drivers that do in fact make it work for them. They are the core drivers of that company and do not worry about the "others" that are complaining. They keep their nose to the grindstone and collect their pay. The smart ones learn to get others to earn money for them as well (as in training new recruits).

| This guy acts like he rediscovered the wheel, It's common knowledge that the guys that make the money at driver mill's are the trainer's. Weather they be company or O/O. Central, Swift, CRE, etc all work basically the same way. Trainer gets paid for all the miles and then the trainee's paid either a set rate or a very low mileage pay. Some companies deduct that from the trainers take others don't. Last edited by RizenPhoenix; 07.12.2009 at 11.25 PM.. Reason: wheel, not will |

| Sounds like OP could've made it anywhere, he has the can-do attitude. A little luck helps too. |

Personally, I hired on for one job. Not three. #1 Driving a truck --- Primary Job #2 Making it work --- Second Job #3 Training others so job number 2 can protect job number one. I've trained, it's no biggy. The money is better in some instances. I'd rather have a job that works, without my having to jump through hoops for a dollar. And NO newbie, is going to have enough experience to "make" anything work. Unless he comes from a serious trucking background. Any lease op, is at the mercy of the company. Not his skills...period.
