Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

Yeah I tried and it's a no go. I'm getting pretty desperate for a good change things where I'm at are gettin worse and worse....

 

I always thought the big R was a decent company to pull for

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a good company but recently my miles have been dropping.. And it's got me questioning why? I've never been late, I take every load, I don't complain (to my fm anyways) lol.. I should say it's on and off like last week, I added it up 2456 was my total miles... The week before that was 2682... When I first started to up until 4 weeks ago I was getting no less than 2900 and plenty of weeks I saw 3000+ I can't figure it out... The only thing that I can think of is since I've gotten my raises they cut the miles back, and I've heard this before, heck my trainer told me that it happens! I never thought it could be true because they've always ran me hard and each week it's gettin a little worse. Today I had to drop off in Chicago from Gary in, whoppin 30 mile trip... For driving into Chicago I don't think the 5 bucks I made was worth it.
I don't like to complain I still think they are a good company maybe it's just been an off couple a weeks I'm ready for home!!

 

It happens here too, sometimes you feel like the bug and sometimes your the window

 

I would never encourage any one with only 6 months exp to become an O/O no matter how you do it. I would encourage you to become a SNI company driver learn the system and then switch to IC after more exp. I'm not saying you couldnt be successful but its hard with years of exp let alone 6 months. Good luck either way.

 

Hey Sadwar, where do you park when you take time off in Florida?

 

Looking good! Nothing wrong with that for 4 days work! Heck! That is awesome..

 

SNI has a drop lot near Orlando I believe
