I did my fourth trailer. I can do this. I want to stick with it. Still, I have questions. My first question is, how many trailers do you do every week? TIA

where and what company do you drive for?
CamryXSE Thanks this. -
I don't want to say off the bat. I prefer to be anonymous in case I say something that could come back to bite me. It's a mega carrier like all the others.
-
I only ask because it may vary with company and location.
I never drove for a mega -
How long did it take you to do those 4? That should give you some idea.
Next question?GreenPete359 and Numb Thank this. -
Wow, you're really smart. You answered my question with the information I gave you.
Thousands and thousands who've done this account. I'm trying to find the ones who've actually done it. -
I would be more worried about how i get the money loads and keep them coming.
-
Let me guess, you work for CR england.
-
Not sure what a money load is. I'm more concerned about over work than not enough. Of course, with the economy, that could change some day.

What part of the country are you in, domiciled ? Here were all fairly much up front with the answers, wrong forum for cat and mouse.
Just take what your told as its coming from weve been there and done that, dont be offended about answers they tend to be frank.
Your going to need to do a year, no tickets (big deal , take your time). First year is about learning to drive without hitting anything ar getting tickets. If your do Dollar accounts try to get in there and set up while the stores are closed so you have the run of the parking lots, stay closed and locked till the store people are standing there. Take your time, dont let a DM rush you into making mistakes caused by hurrying.
Log as much time as possible as sleeper, helps when its time to leave,
I did Petsmart for a year, If my unload was say Tuesday 9:00am, I would try to be there Monday before they close, 50% of the time I would have to wait, but when Empty I would have fresh 10 to run on. Seems like Petsmart load would be 5 or 6 hours back to Reno.tscottme Thanks this.
