Beware of WEL companies

Oakley is a tank job in Florida. Try them?

 

I'd look at Heyl. They cover a lot of the US and Canada . I more look at operating area than cpm. It's in line with what the market is for long haul reefer. If tanker is what you want, you'll have to take what you can get in Florida and make it work. You got the aforementioned Oakley, Bynum is down there too I think

 

Is that all they do for you though, or does the attorney follow through if the company doesn't pay you?

Most any company with a guarantee, you won't see any of that the week you come out of the house or the week you go home, I think. I know K&B is that way at least. So, if you wanted guarantee and you only went out for 3 weeks at a time, you'd get one week of guarantee, if you're lucky. But if they dock you for stuff that is out of your control like their poor planning, weather, traffic, then I don't blame you for not wanting to be there. But, sounds like its slim pickins where you are.

 

Paying and better are not the same always for example pay can be great but you so much blink wrong you are screwed and out the door. People need understand this fundamentally. Plenty of companies pay well but mistreat drivers and the turn rates are still much lower when a company pays less under the same situation. Because many will agree that money speaks its why many will take the abuse of bad companies even if the pay is great. My best job I actually loved best out of all them pay sucked badly but ultimately pay is x and bills were y I chose money over enjoyment and sometimes you gotta make those tough choices.

 

You're not lost. Swift, Prime, JB Hunt, and DB Schenker are options. You're looking for a perfect company. A company is only as good as what you put into it. Pick one of them. They're all good options because these companies are pretty much the same.

 

Man...at least you give them a few hours. Payroll mistakes shouldn't happen this frequently.

 

How often have you been late? You don't get that many chances before a company moves you down the ladder.

 

I'm shocked you can't get 1000 per week out here. Even in a downturn, you don't have to work that hard to get 1000 per week. We're talking maybe 2300 to 2500 miles weekly. That's an average performing driver.
