What is the hometime like there?

 

Dempsey Boyd died Oct. 30, 2012. He was 85.

Boyd started driving trucks in 1946 and founded flatbed carrier Boyd Bros. in 1956 with his brothers Cecil and Hilly. His brothers left the company in 1965. He went on to serve as chairman of the Alabama Trucking Association in 1983. He served in the U.S. Army.

Survivors include his wife, Frances; daughters, Gail and Ginger; and his brother, Hilly.

 

I have orientation with Boyd Bros. in Cincinnati on the 21st of this month.. First driving job ever and I am super excited and nervous as hell all in one

 

Any current updates on whether this is a good company to work for? Pay? I'm looking at moving from odessa TX to Dayton Ohio area. Oils down and wife and I decided it's a good time to go elswhere. Her families there. Bad part is trucking don't pay ####. I'm leaving oil field so I understand it's gunna drop but I hear things like 800 take home and good money in the same sentence. It's bs. Should be making at least 1000 after taxes and ins. Should I look into another career? Am I chasing a unicorn trucking company? I see Boyd and tmc has adds for that area. But I've read enough about tmc. Doesn't seem like they make anything. How's boyd?

 

Not gonna make that kind of money. Unless you are willing to lower your expectations I wouldn't do it you may want to try a different career path. I know someone who is a plumber and makes 80K.

 

Hey Invictus, if you can look for another career,I would do it, I've watched trucking go right down the ole sh$Ter in the last 40 years.Any skilled trade I think would be a much better option in the long run, for your health and your family.

 

Trucking don't pay ####? Hope you have a college degree and some contacts if you think $800 take home is crappy pay. You might be in for a rude awakening.
