ESTES Express (5 Year Review)

Hopefully they don't screw teams. As long as they can get out and stay away from Charlotte they will be fine. As long as estes knows how to run a team.

 

Kinda what I was thinking. Hoping to just get out of Charlotte. I hope it works out for us. We are currently at a place that doesn’t know how to run teams so trust me when I say it can’t get any worse lol.

 

Worse case I'd say you will do short hops sometimes. I'd say you would still get 5000 minimum a week. I could be wrong. But 5k @ .745 ain't horrible. Just ride it out and eventually take a bid as soon as you can. Run same thing each week and not worry about miles. You "should" get a brand new truck. Or pretty new.

 

I see 5k a week being the average, I have been seeing alot of the new LT sleepers around, I think they are giving the "older KW's" to extra board solos drivers and the LT sleepers to the teams.

Goodluck and stick in there, It took 6 weeks to actually start working from the beginning of the process.

Guy at my terminal got one when I was there. About 4 months ago. 980,000 miles on truck but I guess they put new motor. It was WORE OUT inside. Idk why he would want that.

All teams I been seeing out west were all brand new LTs

 

No. The TM of the terminal your hiring from makes the final call. As long as you clear background mvr etc

 

5 more weeks and i get to hit the Board fellas. City Driving aint for me, i got a hell of a lot of respect for the guys that do this day in and day out for us. Takes someone to know when they're not a quarterback tho, and are better suited for a lineman.

 

####. That's 225 terminals gotta like you or your not getting on.
