Taking another swing at it

My AC is out. Weekend means no parts available to fix it. Breakdown paid for a motel so I didn't have to put up with New Orleans heat. Hopefully fixed tomorrow after my unload.

 

It was fine getting the preloaded trailer at coors. I'm rather glad it was the way it was. Go to anhieser Busch and they are way more struck on how clean the empty trailer is and then you need bobtail weight and a lot of steps. Coors was easy. Find the trailer, secure the load, slide the tandems and off you go. The only this bud has over coors is a good scale system when you leave.

 

if it makes you nervous, don't do it.
I did my homework on this one.
The company is not a villain out to destro the dreams of all drivers.
The beauty of this program, to me, read that again...(appeals to ME) is that I don't Have to be a trainer to stay above water. I can go home like normal. Only thing is, after the term, I get a title.
I have met and became friends with multiple people that have done the program and got the title. They stayed on with the company and financed another truck from a bank that he leased on and teams with.
Not every company is. " out to get us".
They are small enough to know me by name , and large enough to get the freight contracts .

You preach that this is a mistake, that's fine . I make money.
While you say this is something to avoid, I still make money.
If I sit for two days and only get 1200 miles, i still make money, and get home to boot.
If there is any button that someone can push to set off another driver, be it backing or buying a truck "You're doing it wrong" pisses everyone off.

 

If it makes you feel better I can refer to what I am doing as a rent to own deal, leased on to a company.

 

Good luck to you sir! I hope it works out for you.

 

I have 3 hrs left on my 70. They still found me a load I can grab to get home on my recap. That's utilizing every hour efficiently! Should be home Thursday! Have a good holiday if you do that! Speak next week.
