That's a fact, I'm debt free, home, vehicles, credit cards, all paid in full, I'm just working long enough until I can retire, some believe money is everything, I'm just not one of them, for me? It's family and friends, and time with them, which is why I took a local gig, home every night, and off weekends
Sure are a lot of bad companies out there!!

To me, money is important, but not the most important aspect.

Trucking companies and their drivers are like a marriage/relationship. It starts out with mutual affection and promises but then reality sets in and bills come do and then the fussing and cussing. At this point its time to seperate and start over.
TruckerNerd Thanks this. -
I work for England and make good money. I don't train but have a partner i run with. Been with them 3 years. If a company doesn't meet your needs find one that does.

at .50cpm. If the miles are there, nice trucks, not a lot of hassle,
they are probably not all bad. -

beautiful trucks, run a lot of western state miles. 3000 western
state miles in a truly nice truck is a 100 times easier than 2000
east coast miles in a mega carrier, 62 mph, pile of plastic, and
deal with tons of traffic miles.
To me it is not about cpm. It is how much is my paycheck that
I take home to my family every week. How much crap am I going
to deal with to get it. I would far rather drive where I want to,
drive a nice truck. If I can make the same money doing what I
want to do why would I sign up for something I hate to do for
even less money?
West of I-35 is miles and miles of good running. Little
traffic, plenty of truck parking,etc........
East of I-35, well that is a whole different story. You want
me to run east, it takes a lot more money.Lonesome Thanks this. -
This kind of mentality is exactly why I don't run the road anymore. I'm not out there to show off my big red rooster cruiser to the rest of the world. But, that's what makes a market and we'll have to agree to disagree, I suppose. Best of luck to you in you travels.White_Knuckle_Newbie and Canned Spam Thank this.
