  3. I made the above post over a year ago today. and now this update.
    (uacl sucks, and so does entire trucking industry)

    after a year of being on percentage at uacl and a year of percentage at jbhunt (first jbhunt then uacl) i am now 2 months behind on my truck payment, icant pay hardly any bills except cellphone. i had to secure 2 payday loans just to make one payment to forgo possible reposession for another month. i dont have the money for fuel to move to another carreir let alone 4 new tires needed to get approved ( i have 4 tires right at 2/32's barely legal) dont have the money to fix the truck. (i sat for 2 weeks in texas and now as of 11.26.2010 1 week in FLORIDA)

    a torpedo has struck the ship im taking on water and this ship is sinking fast! (that is how i feel)

    there is now NO WAY i can stay in business UNLESS by some MIRCACLE of GOD and 3 acts of congress i can convince a BANK to refinance this truck of mine so that i can make a move to (cdn logistics, or ceva ground, or schnieder (if they offer milage pay) or i might go back to ptl but im leaning towards moving to cdn. that is only way i can now stay in business.

    so based on my experiment with percentage pay at both jbhunt and uacl. i have learned that There is no money to be made in percentage UNLESS you pull a stepdeck, rgn, (oversize stuff) or a flatbed.. THERE IS NO MONEY FOR VAN. STICK TO MILAGE PAY!! dont ever try percentage at least not pulling a dry van. or reeefer.

    If i cant get 2 payments deferred or truck refinanced DONT WORRY, ill be fine. there is always the ARMY(M1 armor Creman or driver(TANK)), and or company driving for someone. those are the only jobs available to me that pay decent with good benifits that i would enjoy in my area

    well i have to go and figure out how the hell im gonna get a load out of florida without loosing money on fuel costs. :)

    also STAY THE HECK OUT OF FLORIDA!
