My Experience as a Line Haul Driver

Went in at 0730 like always only to be told they didnt have a load for me today, so i had 2 options turn around and go home or work the dock, and since the pay checks are depressing enough i decided i'd work like 8 hours on the dock and go home. Well 1pm comes around and i was asked to do a favor, do a short shuttle run (drop n hook 20 miles up the highway) so i did it, then i came back and they had another one 20 miles in the other directions so i did that one. Got back at 515pm dropped the trailer in a door and and logged out at 530pm (10 hour day, ALL paid by the hour every minute and only drove 77 miles). Good money/little to no real work...good day lol

your good! They start at $12/hr all of their trucks are Auto's too. They work on a Point system as well. Only good thing about them is their equipment is top notch which as im sure you know is VERY rare in dump trucking. They have a hand full of tractor trailers to pull equipment with im not sure what they get paid but im sure those jobs are hard to get.

If your looking for the best paying Dump truck job in my area check out All Points Trucking, VERY nice petes and polished Ox Bodies on the trucks. I think they were starting at like $15-$16 an hr last time i talked to them.
