    Man you did it though my brother. To touch on that video, if that wasn't crazy as ever man!!!!! I'm wondering how much a car hauler costs....its the ugly side of leasing.. I'm not sure why he held on to the truck for so long. He was in the red the whole time.

    The empty trailer they had me grab at Craftsmen needed repairs according to dispatch, so they had me bring it here.

    What are some complaints y’all have about the company? The 65mph truck will take me some time to get used to but no big deal set the cruise and ride. How tight are the delivery times? Are they usually 45 minutes to spare like I saw earlier? What do y’all like about the company over companies you’ve maybe worked for before, what really brought you to climate express

    They normally give ample time to make a delivery. My wife an i are a team. The reason we were tight on delivery earlier was cuz the driver that brought us our load didn't arrive at yard on time. They've never given me anything i couldn't accomplish with the hours I've had available. The only time I've ever run into being late was when i was solo running on a recap. But then dispatch knew and updated customer an didn't hold it against me. Qualcomm's are easy to use in my opinion. Ya get used to 65mph trucks. My only complaint is i would like to make a little more per mile but that will come with more raises and i hate losing miles when we go home. My wife an i usually go home for a day off for every week out. We usually are out 3 or 4 weeks at a time. That's our choice. They've never given me any issues over hometime. They're good an honest people to work with. They won't jerk ya around.

    An also ya make your own success here. If you show them you are dependable as far as making pick ups an deliveries on time then they will count on you an give ya the miles. If ya slack off an screw around then ya will only be given what they feel ya can handle which will be low miles.

    Complaints? I don't really have any. 65 mph trucks don't bother me because I've had that much whole career. As far as delivery times go, Professor nailed it. They are excellent load planners. I don't hardly have dialogue with dispatch, except every once in a while if they need a favor. After talking to Karen and seeing how they do things here I knew it was a fit. They don't promise you the world like other companies. They are very straight forward. Everything that she and Nick told me during the application process, it all has come to pass. They don't pay the most but they are competitive to other companies. I love the miles, a driver can get lots of them if he or she is willing to work. It should be easy to break 2500 miles or better. I'm usually around 2700 to 2800 on average. You can go to other companies and get sign on bonuses and see a 1500 or 1700 dollar check then dip to a 700 dollar check. With Climate, you'll make steady money every week. In the year I've been here, I've had maybe 4 bad weeks, either back went home or it was the holidays.

    Right on my brother...I'd add that the secret to making money is your back haul. We run in and out of STL. The faster you get back to STL, the more likely you are to stay moving
