Benifits of Transition

So, I am still fairly new to the industry, but I have done countless hours of researching on the internet before even obtaining my CDL. (Im not blind to the facts). Maybe... I guess what my concern/issue may be is whether or not the money is still there if you switch to a division that is "said" to be less lucrative than another. I work for a pretty noticable flatbed company, (based in Nashville), who runs alot in the northeast on the dry van side, and everywhere on the flatbed side. I have also heard though, that getting loads with multiple stops in the dry van division can be profitable as well,(As long as you're willing to run hard). Maybe some of you vets can way in on my curiousity. Especially if you know the company im referring to or you work for them. Thanks in advance... Be SAFE out there drivers!

 

Well driver, I actually live in North Carolina. I was just wondering could it be lucrative to run dry van with multiple stops? Im only 26. And Im motivated to work hard and earn as much money as I can while im still kinda young. Im no stranger to hard work, so Im not even concerned with burning myself out. Just wanna know that the money is there. And you seem to be pretty knowledgable... Know of any small to mid major companies in the southeast that might hire out of North Carolina and have a decent cpm?

 

Well, Im no stranger to hardwork. However, I've none for a while that im not that fastest rabbit in the bunch. I actually started my trucking career doing flatbed. First opportunity was running teams with an O/O that lied about everything, so I learned a few things but I had to seperate myself from that situation for financial reasons. I am employed with a copmpany now, and I completed load securement training with high makrs from my instructors and high test scores. Its not a lack of knowledge, just speed. But I know how to manage a 14 clock, and run it hard behing the wheel. This is the reason I would like to find a company wo runs dry van in the southeast and pays well.

 

I have. I like that company. But, I like BTC even more. You guys know anything in particular about them?
