I got my cdl 1 year ago. Was working for my boss as a 26ft Box truck driver. Did that for 6 months and got 10000 miles of Box truck delivery experience. He ended up needing a Driver for double bottom truck. Ending up getting the endorsement for doubles/triples and he hired me.
Been working for him for a couple of months now and in a month and a half i have driven 10000 miles doing random dirt hauls/ sand and other materials from plants and construction sites.
He let's me use his truck, he provides matinence/ fuel on the truck and takes 70% and gives me 30% of what I make. I Have averaged out what I make and that's about $20000 after all of the work I do for him in one month. Which I get $6000. I just drive and drive and drive and drive lol and that's it.
Now that I see that it is worth it I was trying to figure out what I should do next.
I have an opportunity to buy a truck as I do have some $$$ to invest but I don't know what truck to buy nor do I know where to get the dispatches from for double bottom.
Of course just sitting and driving I get an idea of how things work but there is so much more to learn which comes after time.
Should I continue working for him to get more experience. I feel confident it getting my own truck but experience is also what I neex.
Need some advice on next moves.
