    I got a truck. Sterling. High rail. The cab is so disgusting. Lots of dirt from previous driver. And URS want me to clean it myself. So far.. My experience with URS is 3 out of 10. I'm really hoping it will get better.

    Yessir. I just hope things are going to be as expected. As long as I'm bringing home 1k I'm fine with it. But this guy was telling me. It's kinda hard to meet the minimum of 4500 a week if we're getting 1 load with 5/6 stop. Then having to deadhead 300 miles to reload etc. The sound of that make me cringe. But man.. Bringing home less than 1k & having the kind of responsibility we have. I just don't think it's worth it

    It depends on which lane you running the money loads are out East I try to stay above 1300 a week & that's with 2 good paying loads once you find a lane stick with do not move from that lane trust me I finally know that now

    I just pick up a load today first load for the week pick it up in Lafayette IN Subaru heading for Virginia 650 miles drop my last load in Chicago then took my 34 this load I'm on my percentage of that load is 960$ I just started my week once you get going on a lane this money out here isn't hard to make make friends with ppl out here at these terminals do favors for em lil short runs that way the terminal manger sees that & remember you when it's pick & choose time he/she won't forget you when they get better rates for certain lanes that way when you do deadhead you pretty much made a profit within a couple of days it took me 4 months to figure out these lanes but once you learned it stick with it & I'm still learning also I hate being out East I prefer down south but the money is better for me out East

    If I remember correctly it's local GM work.
    If you were to get over into Ohio Marysville can just about always load you back into upstate NY.
