good drivers

The old saying >good help is hard to find< was most likely started by a hard working person like you....
It really applies to the trucking industry.....

 

Well i have to disagree with you. I am home a full day during the week and every weekend and average $1100-$1200 a week for between 50 - 60 hours.

$1000 a week divided by 14 hours a day 5 days a week = $14.29 per hour that doesn't include the other 10 hours a day gone from home which is another 50 hours a week. So if you add that in you get $8.33 per hour. That's why you and others have trouble finding good drivers because most good drivers wouldn't work for less than that. I sure as hell wouldn't. That's part of why this industry has went to hell is because these cutthroat companies and drivers who will work for #### pay. The old saying that was referred to above, "you get what you pay for" I have to agree you pay #### wages you get #### drivers.

 

if you train me on cargo securement i'll work for you...6 months experience with 53' van... I dont complain, I run hard, and I pass DOT inspections....

 

Like the previous poster, I'll drive for ya, if you'll show me the ropes on cargo securement. I've got 2 years OTR w/53' dry box. PM me if your interested.

 

Well, I'll leave the radio left on a better channel than he will! ^ How about that?

 

Oh yeah? I'll keep the left door closed, and I'll keep the truck clean! Neener, neener, neener!

 

You shouldnt have a problem finding a driver on here, there are plenty of drivers looking for work now, myself included and any money or job is better then none in this economy. I live in oregon and have called atleast 50 companys to hear no freight on west coast or we dont hire out of oregon. I'd love to drive but no Fb experience. wouldnt mind teaming either
good luck.

 

OK Boys and Girls here's where the rubber meets the road. Fleet owner looking for drivers, leased to a company. Driver's make $800.00 a week. Look at all the post's in here about drivers looking for work. Griping about dispatchers,companies,policy, etc. I would work for this man in a heartbeat. My kind of place. Why? 1. Non forced dispatch. 2. I bet he will let you treat the truck like it's yours. 3. Wanna learn to be an O/O. Here's the way to do it and the experience will do anyone a world of good. JMO but my first GOOD job in the industry was working for just such a person. Good Luck to you sir finding a good driver and if I wasn't retired I'd be knocking on your door.

 

Torch...I might be willing to consider it if that part about running the truck like its mine is true.

PM me with what you have to offer an experienced flat bedder that only requires getting home once every 4 weeks (I stay home 1 day for every week I'm out)
