Going to work

Good stuff

 

Well ole' timer, bet it feels good to be gearjammin' again. Just remember us noobs don't have that experience that you racked up, so be gentle on that greenhorn that takes 15 pullups to get parked beside you at the truckstop. Share what you've learned over the years and offer him some advice. Remember that for every 10 supertruckers out there that tell you to go stuff it, there is at least one of us that appreciate and heed the advice you've got to give.

Some of us still respect our elders, but you'll find that mentality has dwindled with the newest generations.

 

How many miles is that per yor money because it seems to me like that is about half the pay it should be. Even at rookie pay it sill seems about a grand shy.

 

That sounds like a good job. Keep it rolling. You have it good if you're doing consistent C-2-C runs. A round trip takes, what, ten days solo? Six days as a team? Nothing like doing those long runs over several days or even a week with no alarm clocks and only an occasional phone call to the boss man. That's what truck driving should be. None of this "wait six hours to get loaded and then run it overnight" baloney.

 

Wow, I would KILL for a job like that!

 

will they hire solo to run out west. i ran out there when i worked for DT GRANTHAM i live over in four oaks , benson area.

 

These coast to coast runs you're on are what drivers really want. Hook up today and run for five days without worrying about schedules, alarm clocks, or docks. When I did OTR, that is the type of run I wanted. Many a time I hooked little overnight runs, and I couldn't wait to get the load off and get loaded on a long-haul. Screw that graveyard-shift running of short hops.

I've heard JobHunt claims that today's OTR driver would prefer to run short runs and be home every night or close to it. ########. Long haul is the way OTR drivers want to go, and the longer the better. When a company claims drivers want short, short, short runs, that is only their herding drivers into a new corral of thinking. They want you to do short runs AND like them. Keep on trying, Jobber. Some of us know what OTR should be and will always want that.

Always.
