Trans Am Drivers

I'm heading to Lakeland tomorrow to deliver to the Colorado Beef at noon as part of a long run that started at Schulyer NE. I'm staying at the Flying J in Dade City. Then I book on out of here(assuming I accept the load) towards Amarillo TX, but my 70 hour clock is going to make that run a b***h.

 

Why anybody would abandon a truck is beyond me.

 

TA has to recover trucks all the time. With all these new drivers, finding out that the lease doesn't work for them, they just abadon the trucks, not realising that they are screwing themselves. If they have no clue as to how to run a business, and they have no clue as to what the trucking life is like......... its a disaster in the making. I myself, got to do a recovery in Florida. Think that was the best paycheck I ever had. lol

 

That's the easiest way to not get another driving job! They put that on your dac.and future employers will not look twice at you.,

It is about as dumb of a decision as you can make. I will tell you though I don't know how the lease guys at Trans Am make it. Their pay is .16 per mile less than the lease i am in at ACT and there are some guys that can't make it work here.
