Just do 4 more months and then go to Landstar, and you'll live happily ever after.

Any profit you make will go directly to insurance company

The way the market is looking right now I think you would be way money ahead getting hired onto a good company that pays well.
Save some money for another year working company and than take another look at the market.
Usually I am all for being independent and self sufficient, but I think in today's market with you paying a large lease payment along with high insurance for your age would be a huge risk right now.Dye Guardian, xlsdraw and Dominick253 Thank this. -

Check Associated Grocer Warehouse in Goodlettsville. When I worked there as a company driver & many of my friends there were 0/0's there. It's all customer unload & driver just counts the pallets the customer pulls off. The customer signs for "X" number of pallets only. I did the long haul stuff such as orange juice loads out of Florida or canned goods out of California, etc. Maybe haul butter out of Smyrna to Florida or Texas then a backhaul back to Goodlettsville.
All this may have changed, but worth checking in to.
Strangest load I hauled there was newsprint out of Donnely Printing in Franklin,KY to Bufflao,NY then apple flavored salt blocks from upstate NY to Alabama. Those salt blocks are used to bait deer, which is illegal.Last edited: Feb 11, 2016
