Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

Ok i got to the bottom of my pay fiasco....i signed up for perdiem in April of last year......so basically 1/3 of my wages were not shown or some nonsense from april to december.
I am getting off of Per Diem on April 1st to be exact.
Not worth it in my opinion...i signed up for it before i joined this forum and learned the details of it......the real details. So learn from my mistake and skip the Per Diem. It screws you when you apply for a loan...aka the home loan im in the process of

 

You know i really don't know......I need to go back and add it all up and see.
I'm not making the same mistake twice this year i tell you. Plus once i get off my butt and do my disability claim i should be ok financially. I know ill be around 50% all of my friends i went overseas with got that much minimum or more.
I am hoping on the local gig to go through so i can get back in college and rake in some gi bill money....i need a Harley!!

 

I like doing local, its not as boring because your constantly tieing down a load or taking it off equitment.
So i am sticking around filling in for local temporarly i guess till i can seek employment elswere

 

Yeah i hear you, i spent three years as an instructor at SOI and that even tore my knees down. I could imagine FMF does quite some damage to your body in a line company

I have back problems and my right shoulder is pretty jacked from slinging the 100lb projectiles around all day. Sitting for long periods plays hell on my back, and is just enough pain to drive me up the wall
