My Journey Into Trucking

Sorry

 

Sorry I kind of left the post hangin, I’ve been running myself ragged this last 8 months setting up a new contract. The trucking life has been treating me well, I now own 3 trailers, 2 dry van spreads and a reefer spread. I have a dedicated contract with Coca Cola pulling from their bottling plant down to the storage warehouses. I don’t have to run elog due to the fact that I stay within 100 air miles of my home terminal which is a big bonus.

 

Are yu guys upset that I’m successful or that yu aren’t successful. Who has to lie about a story on here. It’s easy enough to check my MC# UDDOT# or the name on the side of my truck to verify when I received my license or when my authority went active. Unlike some people, I’d rather do things on my own then to depend on my family for everything. Believe it or not, just know that within 2 years I’ve made it further than almost anybody I know. I’ve went from 1 plain Jane truck and trailer to 1 done up truck and 3 done up trailers with a 4th stainless steel spread being built by Great Dane as we speak

 

Thank you. I’ve busted my tail doing this. My 4th month out threw a piston through the side of my block. Then 9 months later had a valve bust thru the seat on the head and go into my turbo. It hasn’t been easy but I haven’t given up, just slowly by surely kept pushing until god blessed me with the opportunity to be where I am now

 

Thank yu sir

 

Currently I run 2 locations. I get paid on all miles loaded and empty. I run down loaded, empty back up. The 2 locations aren’t equal in distance or pay. On the long one I average $3.009 a mile after tolls and on the short one I average $5.20 a mile after tolls
