Anyone else having different results in applying to LTL's or linehauls in different areas?

You should be able to deduct travel expenses for stuff like that. Gas, hotel, and so on.

 

Just an idea, if you can get on Estes extraboard you don't need a place to crash. A lot of our extra drivers just crash in hotels and keep their stuff in a storage unit. Estes pays for the hotel and you can maximize your income and run hard.

 

I know a few guys that see no use to keep a place when Estes covers our hotel rooms including 34hr resets. I was just throwing it out there. I do pretty well and I go home every weekend, if I didn't go home I'd be crushing it out there.

 

Ten years ago; never know til ya try..... Didn't know you've been driving that long.... that should REALLY be a plus, IMHO.

If I didn't have this excellent gig driving for the O/O with a super small fleet of Etnyres, I'd try for linehaul again. Man, if you COULD get into that world, the money is about what I make on my "specialized/local" gig. Heck, they probably exceed me with the slow winters moving asphalt and my hating the alternative...ie: open deck... I usually just take my earned snow days, LoL. You are 1/2 my age, ... opportunities should be imminent ... just keep on keeping on~!

 

PFC/vistar doesn't pay squat. When running MBM, met a PFC guy and he was telling me "oh, we get a minimum of $900 for a 6 day week. I"m thinking wait, I'm making almost $900 for this 2.5 day run. . If you're going to do food service, at least get paid for it. McLane/MBM, Sysco, Shamrock Foods (in denver rapidly expanding if you want to work nights to do chains, big money).

FXG is always hiring.

 

Pretty sure @Mike2633 does better at GFS, also.. not sure if they are by you guys, tho....
