Bulkmatic is ok too. I'd still choose A&R though.
I've unloaded flour at Bisquik in Kansas City and talked to Bulkmatic drivers there. They were happy as can be and making good money.Hamburger71 Thanks this. -
Money is important. I can't afford to move where there is less money. That's why I was looking at tankers. As long as there is steady freight, there should be a little more money.
A&R seems to be at the top of my list as well and for the same reasons you mentioned. HazMat seems like a hassle, but I'm sure it's worth it in the long run. I am a little tired of running reefer right now with its delays and waiting and all the other joys involved. -
Most of my career was reefers which I enjoyed, but tankers was much more relaxed and no hassles with shippers or receivers.
Actually liked the stress of pulling reefers with the odd running hours and tight schedules. -
Maybe it's fate or life teasing me for a let down, but I randomly ran into another driver at a truck stop and asked him how he liked his truck (one I was kind of looking at if I were to get my own). It's a 2012 with 400,000 miles, but had a lot of work done my the manufacturer so it came with a 2 year warranty as if it were new. Around $48,000 and a really small down payment. He gave me a card for the place. He said he bought two. I may look into that.

Trailer Transit seems pretty good for owner-operators to lease on to. I think the truck has to be no more than 10 yrs. old though.

Never, never, never ever give 2 weeks notice. Ever.
Giving 2 weeks notice puts your final check in jeopardy.
I know everybody wants to feel good about themselves by doing the Dudley Do-Right routine, but just make sure it's worth losing your final check to do so.Florida Playboy, superflow, Chinatown and 1 other person Thank this. -
Those who advocate giving 2 weeks notice never seem to have an answer to this question.
-
Giving a two week is a bad ideal
.... But leaving on a positive note goes a long way
... Blame yourself if you have to
Make sure to let them know you wish them well it's been real -
Not me. I have common sense.
Thanks Navy!Hamburger71 Thanks this.
