THIS IS BS Im about to give up

Funny; my last OTR gig I was a company driver and I chose my own loads, when and where I would run and when I would go home.....

 

im still at werner for now.
another driver told me that if you get a crap truck to drive it a little and then tell them you need a leave of absence. say a month. they will take your truck back. then in a week come back and tell them everything is fine....and get another truck. he said in ten years he has done that twice and gotten a better truck both times.

 

If Werner was ok for you then look right across interstate 20 at Schnieder. They run alot of dedicated out of thier Dallas yard

 

But you said you did that route already and you didn't like where you went and that you didn't want to make that mistake again, but....?

You know? And no need for apologies, dude. I've had my tuime wasted by worse, lolol.

My personal recommendation? Swift. For real.

 

There are alot of runs between florida and texas.

Have you tried poly trucking,

try Sunco even.

 

OK.......IF you're gonna buy a truck.....buy what you want....IF you're
looking to drive for somebody........you take what they offer or pass it up and move on.

Again.....are you looking to stay OTR or are you willing to
look at other options and run local or regional????????

You got a family or girlfriend you'd like to spend more time with??????

Important questions here.........take some time and answer them.

Years ago, I looked at the truck first instead of what I'd be pulling and
where. Paid little attention to potential earnings as opposed to how
many miles I'd be running. As a result, I ran a LOT of miles and didn't
make squat.

Today......I run fewer miles than I've EVER run with a trucking company
yet I'm making more $$$$$$$$.........get my point.

I'm not driving the truck of my dreams.......instead I'm driving one of the
best built trucks for the work I'm doing. Yes it has a hood and the ride is comfortable.......so, I'm not giving up much just because the hood emblem doesn't say Pete or KW.

 

To the OP. No matter where you go and who you work for, there will alway's be B.S! You just have to find your flavor of B.S. We're all picky about what we drive but in the end the most important thing is that no matter what it is, it's in a good shape (not dinging your CSA score every inspection) doesn't break down all the time and makes you money.

 

Call Landstar and ask a recruiter if any O/O's need a driver. Call Sunco carriers and ask the same. If you are on good terms with Werner, call and ask if they offer a dedicated account. Same with Swift, Schneider, and Poly Trucking. Also try Baldwin distribution out of Amarillo TX. You have options, but being picky is not advisable in this economy. You have 100 drivers waiting to take your job. My final advice is to place an ad here:

Good Luck Comrade and let me know if I can help you out in any way.
