Driveaway

As I said in my post, they pay for everything except your food. If you come out of pocket for anything other than food, you are reimbursed when paid for that trip.

 

Good questions,

When dropping off a vehicle, you request and Uber or Lyft to take you to your next truck or the rental car facility. If there is none available, you google the nearest taxi service and request a ride. If it’s after hours and a rental facility is closed, you head to a hotel. Most major cities have 24-hour car rentals at the airport, but again, if that’s not the case you head to a hotel. Sometimes the nearest taxi is quite a distance, so you will pay for it, but you’re reimbursed. Keeping in touch with your “dispatcher” will have rental cars and flights set up for you prior to arrival. In “sketchy” areas I would recommend sitting in the truck until your ride arrives. Typically, you are at a business of some sort, so that doesn’t come into play. Dropping off in the middle of nowhere does happen, so calling a taxi service ahead of time helps if you assume an Uber won’t be available. Once you get the hang of the job, you can usually assume this prior to arrival. Your dispatcher will help with anything related to this ahead of time if you have questions.
You do build up a 3,500 escrow account for accidents, which is all you are responsible for paying in the event of a damaged truck. This escrow is built up over time via payroll deduction and equals not much per check. When you resign and turn in all your gear, you will be paid back whatever you have in your escrow account.
After two hours of downtime, you are paid 14 an hour.

 

I appreciate that, but for specifics I would ask a recruiter before you discount them.

Although I do have 58 years of "non-preventable accident" record, there was several incidents that I was involved in, like hitting a deer or a rock cracking my windshield and while parked another truck taking my left front fender off. I am not saying that Spirit Miller is like the rest, but knowing most trucking companies, the driver is always at fault.

Thanks for the information, but I will keep on looking. LOL[/QUOTE]
