It mean you gonna run yer butt off. Hard to justify splitting $1000 a week as a team, if he was making that solo.

I suppose if you are used to seeing JB Hunt trucks sit in a parking lot for 8 months just waiting for the perfect candidate to take the wheel, my timeframe for finding a driver may seem a bit fast; but when you are me...4 days of a truck sitting means eating oatmeal for every meal. I won't let this driver go. He is serious about hauling hoppers and told me that he really likes the truck. Guess he put his flatscreen and nintendo and fridge and the whole nine yeards in there on the 4th while he was at home. I was really happy to get him home on that day.

What I mean by him making more money is a couple of things. First, he is not doing long haul dry van. He is doing bottom hoppers, which means long loooong lines. The last thing I want is for you both to spend 6 hours a day sitting in a line waiting to unload. If I can devise a plan to get laods around 1200 miles every trip, it would mean that you could keep the wheels turning and both of you would make more money. Also, since he is doing oil changes and minor repairs and running "anywhere" for me, he will always get higher pay than the guy that teams with him.

The only way I am looking for another driver is if I switch back to dry van, to run team. It may be happening in about a month, but in the mean time I am all tapped out. Feel free to post in the meantime, though.

damn M. i havent been paying much attention to this thread latly it looks like u got a job fair going on here and ur sold out lol

I have known several people that have had to have surgery to their spine and believe it or not none of them regret it. They have come so far with so many medical procedures with good success. I know there are many that will keep you in our prayer. Just ask God to give you peace about this you know that He will be with you during it all.

ah ok thanks for clearing that up for me. Im a certified diesel mechanic also, i have a 20x40 shop with 2 100 gal air compressors and ect..im still doin it on the side but only for people i know really, maybe i should just open my shop up full time and do that since the trucking industry is showing no hope in sight for me..owell good luck with your hoppers M

You should hear my voicemail, or see my email. Good God...this is nothing.

I have a deal I am working on that involves me getting another truck. It would be a team position. Don't know if it will go through yet but if it does it will be around a month from now.
