Need advice - Driving for local feed mill, looking for better

If i were you id jump on the chance. Get the experience from it. I recently switched to flatbed at our company since I wanna do heavy haul in the future and i need 2 years of flat bed experience to get my foot in the door.

Go for what you feel is the right decision.

Agreed.

Plus you're doing it right, prospect for better work while you're working at the lesser job. There's an old saying.... Want a job done right, hire a busy man. Good luck to you.

 

Kids have been known to survive if one or both parents are gone for short periods of time .

 

I'm 27 with a wife and two kids. They survive a couple nights without me.

 

Welcome to the dark side

 

Wait til your father gets home ! ! !

 

She uses that a lot lmao.

 

milage, hourly, or percentage, doesnt matter. if the co. pays you what they promised, and delivers what they promised, that is all you can expect. you need to keep track of what you do and be smart enough to figure out your pay stubb. if you are one that beleves trucking is 8 to 5 office with a view for 50,000 a year, you might get disappointed. you dont sound like such a person. i would try talking to the other drivers and see how they felt about the co. some times co. or driver wants to change directions, it doesnt mean either one is wrong it just means they have to part, hopefully a good parting. if you make a 1000 week on the road and spend 950 you havent done well.

 

Shoot, $13 an hour where I live is #### good money, especially when you're lucky to get a job that breaks $9/hr.
