Burning bridges is never a good idea.. Every time I gave a not

I'm in the same boat as you I called my company and told them I'm putting in my notice and that I would like to be at the terminal in 2 weeks to turn in the truck and they ran me like crazy last week but might get back a few days earlier than I requested. Never good to burn bridges unless they burned you.

 

So driver eagle not a good place to go I'm just asking

 

What a lot of drivers don't understand about Eagle's program is that it is very expensive, you have to do at least $3k or more per week to get a check. Also if you want to book your own freight, know the market rate for the lane you want to run, know how to book your loads so that you reach that $3k a week, if not you will end up in the hole, and if you have been using a broker, see if they are on Eagles approved broker list, if not, see if they will approve them. Don't just come for the new truck, and no, the recruiter and the website won't tell you everything, they are the sales people, their job is to bring you in, by telling you what you want to hear.

It's a good place to work, but you have to be smart about things, and the guys that are doing the best, don't share info with other Eagle drivers, if you do go into the red, money wise, your DM will get you out and into the black, and keep you there, but you have to go where they send you and that maybe a lot to the NE, which is good for dry van, and remember, it is about the business, not about the truck or what truck you drive.

 

OK thanks for the info cause I'm not scared but at the same time I know if I want make money I know I got work hard for it I been doing this trucking thing for awhile like 16yrs but hey I learn stuff everyday and I'm willing to learn more thanks for the good input

 

Like I said I'm looking to do my best at it a new truck is cool but new money is better I'm bout business but I like how u broke it down

 

Makes sense to me rmac,it's your business,you have to be diligent,learn as much as possible and work it!!!

 

And he right agree with everything he said most people looking at the new truck but I'm looking to take care of my family

 

Anybody know who I need to call to switch my DM

 

Lol,ask your current Dm

 

Hi fr8,hope things are going well for you. Are you starting to feel a little more comfortable with the system?
