Moore transport

Thanks for all that. I've been doing piggybacks over 2 yrs and staying in hotels so I hope to get a day cab but I'm ready to accept whatever I get. Sounds like a very driver oriented company. See you out there Jerry.

 

Has anyone heard of anyone auto haulers out there hiring straight from school? I live in Cali but I am willing to make a move if they hire me.

 

I read in another thread that United Road does. Can't hurt to call them.

 

I would strongly advise you to learn to drive the truck first. Learning to maneuver, load , unload, etc is a steep learning curve. My personal opinion is trying to learn it all at once is setting yourself up for failure.

 

Thank you.

 

How's it going there boys?

 

Im still here at Moore. April 1 will be 4 years. It's never perfect anywhere. We don't have Toyota out of Elwood/Joplin anymore. Lost it to United Road. We don't have Belvidere / Rockford anymore. We weren't really making any money on it. Moore asked for a rate hike and they said no and so they gave it up. I used to run all the way from Baltimore to Appleton Wisconsin. Then I would run down to Elwood and do a load out to Iowa. Then I would run down to Rockford and pick up a load going back to Baltimore. Those three runs I would make about 2,200. It was great when I was on the same runs out to Illinois and back.
I haven't been able to find a good click to get on board with and so the money has gone down hill. The big problem is the manufacturers. They simply wont pay diddy squat. The other problem is companies come in and play Cut Throat. Moore has done it, other companies have done it, Union companies have done it and here we all are. All these changes have caused an increase in deadhead miles which pays zero. I won't run any runs where I'm going to have to do a long deadhead afterward. It's just not worth it.

Thank you deregulation.
