    by contact I can't say..... and I understand the reason

    we almost never actively look for drivers or O/O and never between Dec.-Apr.

    what I can say is all the maga fleets get SOME high dollar freight but unless your on percentage you would never know it

    Oh please give me break. The people we know were recruited and in december-january so you are wrong there. Like the old "can't tell you or I'd have to kill you". Ok Mr. Top Secret. You just keep hauling your James Bond secret freight. We aren't interested in pulling for a mega carrier. Dont flatter yourself. We don't have to pull someone else's trailer we own our own. And we haul high security loads too. But I'm not so lame that I won't say what they are. We haul military to special ops, we go to gold mines out west and more and make 97% of our money. You get 67%. Once again people have to say "oh I make a killing with a mega carrier". Just wanted an honest opinion cause we like to cut through the b.s. and think some "friends" are full of it. I've seen people show what you did and they are called recuiters. Have a nice day. Can anyone else chime in on this who's not a US Xpress brown noser?

    Flood from what I know of him from TTR is an honest guy. He's probably telling the truth Blondynka.

    Come on Flood, say what you haul. I'm curious. Hazmat ? I know US Xpress started a dedicated account hauling hazmat. Curious if it's that.
     
    flood Thanks this.

    Can't be happy for someone who is happy with what they make? Makes you mad, huh?

    BTW...he works for a different division than the people you know. That was obvious.

    Exactly my point, if this existed people would be killing each other for that job in this economy. Just like I heard a couple team tell me they worked for RE Garrison and made $10,000 a week after all expenses. But they just quite that job to to to RRR. Ok, you just bragged about how much money you make so you quit. My point is don't pretend you're something you're not. I can completely be happy for another person, i want good people to succeed. Just don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
     
    Jokingypsy and TruckDuo Thank this.

    then they don't work in the division I do because they will not hire until mid to late april..
    so you had to buy a trailer, you have to have insurance on the trailer, Maintenance on the trailer exc... so ya you should make more percentage.
    who doesn't... I was doing that as a company driver for usx years ago
    I pull morphine
    98% of $4.00 if your getting that a mile is. $3.98.... my little 67% means I drove 382 miles in the last 2 days (that's 50 mt drive 3 hours unload 10 hr break reload drive 3 hr unload) and will pocket over $2,600.00 and yes my rates are up from what they should be for this time of year, most of the time I need to drive 1,000-1,200 to packet that much
    no you don't want an honest opinion because I gave you REAL numbers of what I'm making RIGHT NOW and even posted a screen shot to prove it...!
    I have never ever recruited any one, never gave my name, truck # or I D #, and personally why would I..... more drivers would cut down on my loads
    so tell me how I'm a brown noser...?

    thank you I try to be.

    yes I do SOME hasmat but not as much after the change in the tanker reg.... I may run it everyday for a week or two then may not for a month or two...
    auto parts ALOT
    expedited ALOT
    sum other stuff

    my wife and I made a reputation for ourselves for 2 years 6700 miles a week on I80 (I did WY 4X a week at night) never missed a load never late unless the road was closed doing a run usx said couldn't be done in a 65mph truck (they even pulled us in 2X to check the truck to see if it had been truned up)

    it took time to get to the point I'm at and making what I do now
