So just applied with Drake and waiting on background check to come back. Any recent comments on K L Breeden or Drake? Still getting good miles?

My trucks are still very consistent there

TruckerPete1990 · Jul 1, 2020

Yes it's busy it slowed down a little in late March April but everything is back to normal now.

CCChanel · Jul 1, 2020

Thanks for the response. I'll update on my journey as well. Be safe and well out there

Started with a new company here. Gonna be keeping this updated.

I'm working as a power only for $1.43 + FSC for the Tyson foods account. We only pull Tyson trailers in the midwest.

Lets start off with the Basic stuff

This is a POWER ONLY company. They have more accounts then Tyson but i can only speak on the Tyson account. For orientation they pay you .83 a mile to bobtail to Clarksville AR. They put you up in a Very nice hotel and they feed you 3 meals a day. You will eat at the hotel. around 11-1130 they take you to the dinner inside the truck stop. For dinner they take you to a sports bar and grill. You can order what ever you want(I did not go as i wasn't feel the best).
Orientation is only 2 days Tuesday & Weds. Starts at 9am and both days it went to just a little after noon. Depends on how many people have questions.
They will require you to get a Smartdrive camera installed(They pay for it) this is a forward facing only with no audio. They will also install omnitracs(Free no month fee) You must return it once u quit. While you are there they will send ur truck to the shop next door and they will do a DOT inspection at there cost. You must be 2 a year. They pay for one you pay for one. No trailer fee's. This is FORCED dispatch but it can be a great gig if you live in the midwest area you could be home every weekend if you choose.
Insurance on my truck is about $250 a month(60k). If you run there plates thats $150 a month. They have a ESCROW of $500 they take out within first 5 weeks at $100 a week. You get 2 comdata cards. One for truck fuel(taken out of settlements weekly) 1 for reefer fuel(You don't pay for this). They pay all Scales and tolls just send in the receipts.

Lets talk truck insurance. If you can get Truck insurance for around the same price i would do so. The Deducible sucks its a $2500(They are working on this)
The people down in clarksville Ar are very great. They are very friendly if you have a question just ask em.
Fuel discounts seem to be the best at Flying J right around .30-.40 cents off.
We are paid ALL miles DH & loaded. AVG is about 20% deadhead. You are paid the same loaded and empty pay doesn't change.
They will keep you preplanned. The AVG is about 2600 miles a week depending on when u wanna go home.
You are paid every friday at 7AM onto ur comdata card.

First 3 days looking like im gross $2200 at around 1,238 miles(with FSC i think its 1.73?)

will keep this updated every week. Any questions feel free to ask and ill do my best to answer or find the answer for you.

Sounds pretty good, other than the escrow. I will never ever do escrow again! I have worked for two different companies and they have took my escrow every time after I quit! I see some places you can take out extra money for tires, breakdowns, etc... No way!!! You can’t trust anyone anymore! Especially if there is a good amount of money involved! I will run under my own authority, or drive for someone before I pay escrow again!
