    In September-december, I'll have enough experience to move on(9-12 months)from my starter company.
    I'm looking for a company that will keep me moving. I hate truck stops. I need a company that's basically looking for a robot.
    I've seen a couple of companies claiming "guaranteed $1000 per week", but working in the land of lies, if it sounds too good to be true, there has to be a catch, right?
    I've also considered going Conway freight, so I can get paid by the hour ($22/hr starting out is what I've heard?)
    I was just wondering if I could getsome invoice on any companies you know of that "pushes people too hard" but signs the check that makes up for it.
    If I can put $1k in the bank every week, I can deal with the drama that comes with it
    Or Conway information.

    Do you have all your endorsements? Shouldn't be hard to pull a grand a week with them.

    Yes, bringing home a grand a week is easily attainable with an LTL or tanker company. An added bonus is that you can do this with a five day work week. These two avenues will also get you better benefits for less money per week, paid holidays, and most importantly compensation for all of your time.

    Get your hazmat and go pull tanks. You could pass both $1000 a week and over 22hr no problem, good luck.

    Holland Enterprises requires 12 months experience. I think you're right on the edge of their hiring area. Nice trucks with Tripac APU's.
    Lessors Inc. is good and also has Tripac APU's.
    Navajo Express has some type of APU and inverters already installed.
    All 3 of these companies run coast-to-coast.
    If you plan to live on the road, those Tripac APU's are what you need.

    Trimac Transportation is a real money maker @ over $100K per year in the elite fleet. No APU's, but the money makes up for that. Coast-to-coast running too.
