    This Fridays Check in the bank was $2,800 USD. includes Gas City, In, Worthington, MN. Lardo,TX Elephant Butte, These were Trips before XMAS)added to (Starting out Jan 14 2012 From Elephant Butte, NM .Cactus, TX, Wilmington,CA Avondale,AZ Kingman,AZ Wilmington,CA, Bakersfield,CA Paris,TX ,Tulsa,OK Pacfic,MO Cutoff 26) Next Payday.( ENID,OK DeQueen, AR. Sacramento, CA Mira Loma, CA was dead headed down from Sac to mira loma. Have frist pick on. Been waiting since yesterday for information on 2nd pick. Got to CA on the 31 of Jan. Still waiting to get rolling to make some more money for this pay period. It sucks they pay every two weeks. So if you decide to come over here. Make sure you have a good $ reserve to pay your bills. Before you get rolling. Every week you are out you get one day off. 2011 they gave us a choice of taking either Christmas or Thanksgiving off. Remember this is a company owned by a South American Conglomrate. So they don't care about our Thanksgiving killing the Indians.

    The KW 700 has been a good truck so far. Lots of room. Engine is 450 1800 rpm cummins. I don't like the 8 speed shifting. Mirror location totaly sucks, get to much light from the dashboard reflection at night, When backing up. GOAL. Where the wing window used to roll down dose not anymore. The steering wheel is fix. Meaning no ajustment. It is an okay ride but feels like the front end is floating. This truck will turn on a dime, so be careful when making quik turn arounds faring damage or tire flat spots can results. Watch out on rutty roads you will bounce.Had a few issues with climbing the hills Greeley KW factory Mech fixed that. Now climbs like it should.The Greeley, CO shop fixed everything else I put on the DVR. Like any other company. Good weeks and bad weeks. They posted on the home website our top drivers earning $91,000 2011. That is about 1790 a week. I am still waiting for that average. I am told they are still getting the bugs out of the system with planning,dispatching and CSR's.

    Sitting here in KS waiting on I-70 to open up. Thought I could get home this afternoon and drop in Denver in the morning but noooo... Looks like Greeley is having their troubles. Seems to happen whenever there is a bad storm.

    Scooby If you read my post correctly I was using the TERM newbie when I referenced myself... LOL

    Either way Give me about 90 days and I will take your BET and any others, I will not discuss on here why, What or how But I seriously doubt anyone who works for any company will be able to even come close.... Simple but evasive clue you pick up on it keep it to yourself please... You can call me or message me and I will explain then but not on this thing.....

    Im probably goin to the oilfields as well. I have till march 26 to get the sleep apnea test which ill avoid. To be honest though im a rookie 27 years old with a family. I can stay with jbs or go to the oilfield and at least double my income.
    If i cant hack it out there then ill just come back to another carrier. Thats why ill stay the full 6 months before i go, just incase.

    Maybe an experienced driver could give me a good reason not to go to the oilfield but can it really be that much worse then what im doin now?

    Thx for the help with the comcheck question, a woman at the loves gave me 25 so that will last till march.

    I drive in the oil fields in Colorado. It depends on what type of crew you get hired on with, On a frac crew you will work hard for 15-20 min for setup and 15-20 min on tear down. a water truck or belly dump is gravy. I make good money and have benifits paid by the company. I liked driving for JBS, did not like sitting and wife asked me to find a local job, I did what i had to do, and got lucky with new job.
     
    DocRox Thanks this.
