I work ltl and looks like I'll be doing 85k or around that this year. OTR was a heck of a lot funner and I made 66k a year doing that. I sure...
What's your new gig ACH1130? Congrats!
I have driven local, line and OTR. I still like OTR the best and I hate slip seating!!! I never had to slip seat when I ran OTR and I had a kick...
Ya but after she has 1 year in as a nurse you can quit your job or at least work part time for a while and let her pay the bills. Seriously...
Sorry it didn't work out for you John. I hope this new job is what you need or like you said, let the wife work while you eat fish and rice lol!
The Freightliner Classics are nice, I agree with you on that, but he Columbias, etc shake like the Internationals imo.
Well that definitely would not be enough if you're hourly. I'd want at least 50 hours a week.
That pay sheet scared me as well. Glad to hear that is pre fuel surcharge. As far as trucks go, I have driven a lot of them and have to say that...
I don't know Road_runner, FXF is a good job. You probably should have tried it out and went back to Reddaway if you didn't like it. Cause we both...
I worked for FedEx Ground and FedEx Express. At Ground I ran teams and pulled doubles it was pretty easy money. I never had any problem with them....
Congrats road_runner!!! Happy trails!
I'm probably going to go with Roadrunner. They have ltl terminal to terminal stuff and if that isn't good you can get broker loads off the board....
Sorry to hear that John! Hoping you stay rolling from here on out.
When I leave it's going to be back to otr for me. I miss running the open road. Gonna buy my own truck again, been doing a lot of research and...
Hey Roadrunner, I'm telling!!! LOL J/K. Good luck with FedEx. At least you know if FedEx doesn't work out Reddaway will take you back no problem....
Wow! Was it his first problem with the company? Down at my yard it's almost impossible to get fired and we aren't union. We sure have a lot of...
Bad times to be a trucker. I started in 1998 and hate what's gone down since then. I can't imagine being an old hand out here from the 1960's or...
Pretty much the same reasons I'm leaving YRC. The days of the good paying union carriers are over. We got raped and asked for more! I can't wait...
I work for YRC and while the line haul drivers make more money I wouldn't say 1600 a week is easily attainable. It just depends on if you have a...
Lot's of them will still pay 1099 though. They used to do that at FedEx Ground but FedEx doesn't let them anymore. Not sure how roadrunner does it.
