We were getting really good miles our first couple of weeks. The past two weeks its been less than 3500 miles. Some drivers tell me that going to a dedicated account will help us get 5,000 + miles a week. A guy I was in orientation with at USX is doing reefer. Their running him hard. I contacted the powers that be to see if we could pull reefer. Waiting on a response. In the mean time, thought I'd ask my fellow drivers if they have any suggestions on what dedicated accounts for teams they would recommend that will get us 5,000+ a week.

Well me and the wife are on the ceva account. There is a 4700 mile garuntee per week. Can be a pain to get sometimes though. More anoying than it was a year ago too. 4 days off max, lots of 5-6 hundred mile runs in areas of the country that ceva lease drivers don't want to do (NE, up and down the west coast), and lately they have been really anal about restarts. That last may just be a precursor for the new hos rules though. Me and the wife were going to look into reefer or a different company ourselves but I won't lie, giving up that guarantee is a little worrysome. But if you can deal with the cons it might be right up your alley
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
Thanks for your advice. Shocked that with as big of a company as USX is that more people didn't give their input.
That 4700 mile guarantee is nice. We've been doing 3,000 - 4,000 the past few weeks. Came to this company thinking we would be doing 5,000 at least. I talked to a few team drivers the past week. They've been doing about the same. Some less, some more but not much more. Maybe freight is down ? -
Call Phyllis Overla. last I knew she was still running the refer division.
