Companies running CPM drivers to do local loads

Crete used to do that #### to me whenever I delivered around Dallas, a little 100 mile deadhead to a live load and 100 miles back for a live unload.
They made a fortune and the load took all day to do.

 

You should ask yourself why you drive for Schneider.

 

3 years you should know better by now.
Get away from mega trash companies.
Don't ever go back to them.

This is what they do.
It's why they haveto hire 200 rookies a week.
Go to a small place that doesn't have all those
Drop yards and terminals everywhere.
It pick up another load and keep moving

Or you could just tell them NO:
I'm not working for free anymore.
See what they say about that.

 

Yes!! Go to work for a small carrier with crappy or no health insurance

 

Can you ask your DM to be paid in the local rate since you're doing so much of it?

 

Well he can keep his mouth shut and
Work for free then.
Not my problem.

 

The big megas are not the only ones with benefits. I have known drivers that stayed with both swift and schneider and made good money, I don't know how long it took, or even if they actually started low.

 

The company I worked for that had the absolute worst health insurance was the one that was by far the largest. I’ve always had good insurance benefits everywhere else, at much smaller companies with a fraction of the trucks.
