    You don't have to be seasoned per say but your flip flops have to have piss stains on them.

    Flip flops and your stinky feet on the dash are necessary to be a complete truck driver now. Oh and wear your bluetooth headset everywhere you go and flashing blue.

    Stand them beside a driver from circa 1975 with their dirty hat, big belt buckle, cowboy boots, smoking a cigarette, and talking real slowwww.

    I heard companies pay for your hotel stays. I'm thinking Hilton for my 10s and Marriott for my 34s.

    Does anyone have a contact number or website for Amazon loads?


    WTF is it with those people lol. There is another Amazon thread that just got brought back to life and I scrolled thru it and I would say a good 75% of posts are that exact question lol.

    Well do you have the number, I can't even find any info at all on them here in Ak. lol
    I have a friend that has a small company exclusively hauling for amazon and has been for several years, he does well. I am not sure what kind of deal he has, but I do know he is doing well.

    Ok guys serious question here.

    I just got my cdl, I’m currently living in my moms trailer and she is NOT chill so I’m planning on hitting the road so I can see then country and not hear her pitch a fit every time I play fort night.

    Swift is going to pay me .19 a mile and let me bring my ferret with after I borrow money for the pet deposit.

    But I also have my eye on a lease to own truck with prime who will pay me .40 cents a mile and the truck payment is only 3k a month. I’ve always dreamed of being my own boss and seeing the country. They say I can make up to 300k a year!

    The problem is I can’t afford the 1000 down and was wondering if taking a loan from the pawn shop would be worth it? Who would you go with?
