FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

Okay thanks. Yes I plan to do long haul. Thats good to hear. Yes sometimes I will have to put in 11 hrs but dont want it to be everday thing. 50k is not bad. I was looking to make close to 60 if am out almost the whole year. Thanks for the feedback

 

Good to know FCC may take a new grad. Thanks

 

60K for staying out "almost the whole year"..? Don't sell yourself so short. You could probably do better. Nothing wrong with being out on the road, it's a personal choice, and personally I really like it.... til My 55 year old bones need a break.
I just recently switched over to hauling glass at my company...18 months recent experience with them in flatbed, and I'm at .59 a mile plus tarp and glass pay.
IF I stayed out most of the year.... which I calculate as 48 weeks.... is $84,860 plus tarp plus glass pay etc.... Just plugging in numbers here.... I just switched over about 5 weeks ago now.

My thought is that if you want to be out for extended periods, run wild, you can do better than 60k..... if you could avg 3000 a week, at .50 a mile plus other pay, and run 48 weeks....You should be able to do 72k I'd think. Just plug in the numbers, play with it. Build up a nice nest egg.... but enjoy the ride.
A suggestion, in my first two years or so, way back in the 80's, I ran wild, had no wife, no child, no steady gal, no house... It was fun, mind you the trucks weren't nice like today.... stop and smell the roses out there, see some places, enjoy the sites, with google earth and GPS... you could have a blast and some great experiences. You don't have to live in Truck Stops. Good Luck

 

As good as they run you, it is almost a temptation to come over there and buy a truck from them...no matter how much I like my current situation.

 

Are you on a mileage or percentage contract?
