R&J Trucking

well they put me in the dump devision because i can be home more. This was my first day on the job with a trainer and it was good and easy if I might say so. They give you choices on what loads are avalible and what they pay and it is up to you to decide which load you want. Then they leave you alone. You use your qualcom only to tell them when you are at delivery point, when you are emty and when you are loaded. Thats it! The paperwork is very simple also. The trainer I am with got $180 for a 5 hour run thats not bad at all. They are telling me I should be able to make $200 a day plus be home a couple times a week. It all sounds good so far.

 

I asked my trainner about that company and it is owned by R&J but has different name he says it is the same exact way. I was told by a driver today that he has to run illegal just to make money but I think that he does that on his own no one else that I have talked too said that One more day with the trainner and I will get my truck assignment and then we will see I guess

 

we ran to pittsburg,kentuky, huntington, and southern ohio we hauled magnesium that looks like gravel but is heavy they only put 2 buckets in your bed and you are grossing 79000 lbs. we go anywhere there is a iron mill

 

well I have not had to run illegal yet I have told my dispatcher that I would not so if they fire me because I won't break the law then I will set at home and draw unemployment I guess. The trucks are nice and fairly new mine has more power than what I am use too and yes I get passed all the time but I am usually grossing 80,000lbs most of the time. But the job is easy they give you a load and if you do what you are supose to then no problems. I have been running around 6 hours one way and Been making $200 a day so I think it is good so far. I am sure that there will be some bad things come along but it is better than where I came from. I pull dumps and yes I heard that the tankers made more but they are out for 2 weeks.
