Feels like a mistake.

Well said.. condocruiser

 

I would also say stay 6 more months, not only will you have 1 year under your belt, more importantly you will have a Full winters worth of driving exp.
Winter Trailer Trucking can make or break a new driver.

 

Unions are USELESS! All the do is take money away from drivers and line the pockets of the big fat union bosses. Typical Obama democrat talk! If he doesn't like his job, go get a new one! If he doesn't like trucking go get a new job simple as that! Paying money to some big democrat obama union boss isn't the answere.

 

Yes,It is the answer sir.......Think about it, you NEVER hear a unionized driver say...."I think i'll quit,I hate making $75,000 per year plus full benefits"......

its the non-union IRREGULAR route carriers that can give 2 sh1ts about the driver.......Ridicule me all you want.Its the truth.....Union dues are dues..Its not that much money monthly

 

Here's a suggestion that may help, when you have miles run hard, try for 600 any day you can. You said you average 400mi/day when you can. If that means you pace yourself when under a load that isn't always the best choice. Why? Because if you pace your self on a multi-day load and have to drive several hours before delivering on delivery day you've burned up most your clock for that day and won't get a load till tomorrow. On the other hand if you get to where the receiver is the day before and either only take less then an hour or even better don't start your clock while delivering you'll be much more likely to get a pick up the same day and keep rolling. To go along with this over communicate. Day before msg your DM and let him know you'll have lots of hours still after delivery. While at receiver get an estimate on how long getting unloaded will take and msg your DM again with that info and driving hours you have left for the day.

Another two things is be on time and be willing to do stuff like turns and short loads. Making your DM's life easier will make it more likely he'll remember to be nice back. Of course this is all dependent on having a decent DM, if he's a tard nothing will help except switching DM's.

 

Where do you live? Are you 48 state OTR or regional? How long have you been solo?

 

I thought you said you had a fiancé , where did the home and family come from? you and her have kids already or something? starting out in this biz is tough , the jobs never pay what the recruiters tell you guys. keep the roof over ya head, food and electric. the phones cable and internet aren't necessary, circle the wagons and eat beans and rice, the dave ramsay method.

do your obligation to sni, then move on. learn from this , you got a home and family and cars etc before you were set enough in life and does the fiancé work?
