My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

on the 1st set? because i couldnt figure out why i couldnt air up the dolly so i could move it, then i couldnt get the brakes released on the back trailer, and i was checking everything 1000 times before i left.

Thats what i had thought, the driver that told me heavy in the back, came over and told me today (friday) he didnt realize what he said till he started goin down the road lol. on both sets my back box 6,000+ lbs heavyer then the front, but they pulled great, nice and straight no wiggleing at all.

Friday:


went to south hill and back, got back at 4am, worked the dock till 6:30am and came home.


Got my 1st check $515.10 Take Home, $682.46 gross, its so small because the 1st 3 days were training days so only $125/day, and the 1st day solo i only went to burlington, and friday was a short day.



I also got a comcheck for the reibursment for the bolt cutters....denied as always, i HATE tchecks/commchecks they never work

i didnt "find them" on craigslist, i found out about the job opening on there. I knew all about the company before i came here, i saw all those videos on YouTube, i've seen their CSA score, read all the stuff on Rip Off Report, read all the threads on here about them, but at the end of the day its still $50,000+ and home every day with weekends off AND most importantly...Doubles Experiance.



Ironicly the local equipment company that i wanted to work for, you know the one i posted about in December the whole reason for going to Lone Star to get Equipment hauling and RGN exp....well i went by there today...and their hireing D'oh! oh well
