    Heres something else to chew on, the money they adv on line or that the recruiter tells ya 52-62 thousand a yr, can be obtained- by,

    Always riding dispatches back

    Becoming a trainer, and runing super-solo

    Not going home

    This is also how you can make a pay raise every yr. on the Shaffer side.

    Other than that you may be out of luck!


    The way I see it, if you take your home time, and work when you are too, I think it would be fair to say the money may be around 42-46 a yr.

    Times have changed a little, as you know.

    "wisker bisquit" I will remember that one, LOL

    Adv Shaffer Fleet miles are about 2100 wk at this time. Thats there numbers to, not mine. Based on that alone you can not make there yr raise's.

    Sigh... yes trucking is different than it was just a few years ago.
    No one uses the radio anymore except to tell people about not wearing panties
    And highway patrol thinks we have a target on our backs
    And you could park at every walmart and most receivers for the night
    And other truckers waved at you when passing.
    yup it's different... well that guy wasn't wearing panties back then either, he just didn't tell as many as he could
     
    housecat Thanks this.

    There long runs are getting smaller every yr., thats because of warehouse and plants moving closer to were the people are, and rail is cheaper for long runs than running truck, avg good haul from what I have seen is about 400-500, had that slip out of a terminal MGR, mouth about a month ago, of course the recruiter said avg run was about 750, LMAO.

    If you have a Driver MGR assigned talk to them.

    If you do not want to drive at night, don't give them an empty call, or a PTA until the morning around 0830 works the best for me.

    On the other hand you are going to have ###### runs now and then, we all do.

    Still looking for that info on that cpap

    My bottom line is what I bring home.
