NEED HELP, STARTING NEW JOB

If the truck you get has a bed in the back you will not be home everynight.

 

Wouldn't it be Sunday through Thursday?

 

There is no guarantee in trucking You'll be home every day unless something goes out in your trk or customer takes too long then schnider will put u in a hotel.if this is straight local you may work Mon thru Fri and have weekends off.I wouldn't plan on having the same hrs and days unless u have a dedicated account.

 

I do Chicago Rails and with the mention above about being stuck in traffic, there is a whole list of other things that are going to eat the clock up while being at the actual rail yard...

With the .37 cpm pay I certainly hope they are offering some type of wait/delay pay while stuck at the rail yards...

 

Try it out and see if it works for ya. A group of drivers will never agree on anything, for instance somebody said they'd rather run OTR than start at 3 or 4 in the morning. That start time works out perfectly for my life and I'd rather stick a dull butter knife in my eye than run the road. With your limited experience I don't think you have anything to lose. Good luck.

 

not saying it isn't local but anything can happen where u won't get home every now and again.local drivers stay in hotels all the time ask recruiter if you'll be driving a day cab or one with a sleeper. .if the ad said a local job then that's what it is.just saying unless you'll be on an account then plan on the LDS dictating your days and hr.ask recruiter if you'll be on a dedicated account

 

1800-2300??????????? That's high?

1800x .37 = $666.00
2300x .37= $851.00

And that's before taxes.... And that's for a 5 day work week... OUCH....

You can make that and more driving a forklift in a warehouse in Chicagoland...
