Busted up trailers...

Ok, we’ll thanks for the info.

 

It all depends on your location the closest corporate location that I know of is river falls Alabama(panhandle)or Charleston (i95 corridor) I'm out of Charleston and they are hiring people from as far as tx... the lease program is better than most you just need to know the business and go with the seasons

 

What do you guys haul out of Charleston, SC?
Can owner operators choose loads? Do they give a selection of what is available or is it strictly forced dispatch? And does this terminal partner with other terminals or everything is out and back?

Thanks in advance.

 

We haul for ingevity we are the inhouse carriers mostly acids and resin they will you get to pick your freight mostly 600 to 1k miles trips but theres some good paying long distance too 9900 linehaul to Oregon last one I checked

 

Pre-trip.
There is another thread here about some guy going down a hill in Colorado. Came to a sudden stop for some reason???

 

You think you have two contradictory jobs! When I started driving it was a part time second job. I was a full time cop. I live just south of cocoa beach fl. Great place to live, but sucks trying to find good paying companies that will lease you on. Presently I’m with Genox pulling cryogenic gas. It’s about the best gig I could find because of where I live.

 

Cryo by far is the best paying sector of tankers I give you that but it's hard to get in

 

Not really. If you have 3 yrs. experience, with at least one being tanker, and a halfway respectable MVR, it’s not hard at all.

 

The situation will never improve as long as it costs a company driver significant money (a half a day's pay...a full day's pay...often more) to report issues, lose miles, babysit repairs. A lot more of the responsibility needs to be shifted where it belongs...onto fleet owners, terminal managers, equipment managers, safety departments etc. If the driver has a choice between pulling a sketchy trailer for 280 bucks a day or improving the fleet for fifty bucks a day, he's probably gonna choose the former.
