I too have a clean CSA score and DAC.
I too am a Combat Vet, War nerves dont work on me. Gotta man up!

I dont think Im going overboard to defend anyone. I just hate it when someone that only works somewhere a very short time, then quits without notice cries like a baby about that Company. It takes time to adjust to a new place. Say three to six months to get a real feel of it.

Only thing I can say bad about them is they way they Dispatch. Had that been your whole statement against them, I'd agree and buy you a Beer.

The "UnhappyTrucker" name was made back in 2013, when I made my account and drove for Stevens. I've tried to change it to something else, but cant find where to do it.

The pay is better than average. National average is below .45cpm. More like .38 cpm I believe. But I really dont care about pay as I have no bills. Havent even touched something like my last 10-12 pay checks. But thats me.

I will agree that CE "may" hire some last chance Drivers with less than clean records. But thats them and their Drivers. Has nothing to do with me, nor the way I drive.

A DM can try to push a Driver to do anything. If that Driver is weak and does what he knows is wrong, thats on the poor Driver. I stand my ground and have cussed a many DM's out over it. Most DM's at CE probably think Im a pain in their butts. Thats fine. I drive clean and always will. Gotta stand-up for yourself, all DM's everywhere are pretty much the same.
I for one will be glad when everyone has to run ELD's, will be interesting to watch to say the least!

 

Could have just had your Purple Heart mailed to you, I did. Standing in a pretty line in a Uniform dont make you any money. I grew tired of Awards myself after my fourth row was added. To much of a pain to pin them on and upgrade the tree constantly. I turned down a few awards towards the end of my service. To much trouble. Just did my job the best I could and Im not one to look towards praise.

 

True to your way of liking pay. But in OTR, cpm and % pay is the norm. I prefer OTR, long haul even better. Thats just me. With that being said, CE pay is better than average. Some Companies are starting to catch up.

 

... Lorado TX and back is not a bad gig, if I were a single man & no responsibilities, I wouldn't mind doing that run

 

I understand that. My GF just got her CDL yesterday and is going to team with me. I'll be able to train her too, so it's a win-win for me. I am hoping with going Team, with CE, I wont have the issues I've had in the past with my H.O.S. with. If they can run us at least around 6000/wk, I'll stay. If not, I'll move on with no hard feelings. They are all aware of this too.

Myself, I couldnt stand running Local. Would drive me crazy! When I resigned from Goodyear after 14 years, I sold everything. I like to stay out long periods. Use to stay out 90 days at a time my first 9 months with CE. A GF changed all that. Lol!

But we all have different goals and needs in life. So far, CE meets them pretty much.

 

NC to CA, would be my dream gig. But I like Larado too. Living "Footlose and Fancy Free" is great!
