I started out the same way. I got 4 years out of a 8000.00 truck and don't work nearly as hard as the LP guys do.
Does ATS have an age restriction on trucks?
Gonna need an independent contractor lease contract. Probably boilerplate but I'd pay a lawyer.
What's it worth to you?
You can get prepass but it won't do you much good. They're gonna drag you in when they see the DOT number. I have Ipass for tolls which works most...
Biggest problem with Malone is their bad CSA scores. Cops see that DOT number and you will get inspected. Of course the more inspections the more...
So a solo driver running 1600 loaded miles and probably 2000 actual nets 700.00 a week. That's less than a local day cabber who works 5 days and...
To be fair that's .09 off of the 70 percent load pay so it's not a bad margin on the trainees miles.
No problem. I've had my issues with Malone but I'm still here. Bottom line for me is, I go where I want to go, I go home when I want, I make good...
I started at the tender age of 53, not because I wanted to but because I ran out of options. Training with a big company was the most miserable...
I've got dental and long term disability, pretty expensive at my age, 46.00/week. On Cobra medical from my wife's job.
Not too bad. I've put two alternators on it in 6 months, the last one at a shipper Lucky I had a spare. Was the cooler pumping oil into the...
Loves and Pilot/FJ are flat .20. Petro/TA are much better some over .50. The discounts are posted daily on the load board. You will figure out the...
Still paying for Joey Malone's retirement. Actually freight has been very good and rates going up. Don't know if it's ELDs or Trump. How about...
I live in Northern Illinois so mostly IL, IA, IN, MO, KY, OH, MI, and into WI (you'll Never get out).
Thanks to Michigan and their boneheaded 60 mph truck speed one idiot hitting the ditch becomes a pileup because everybody is trying to get around...
Tri City canvas in Granite City Illinois if you run into St. Louis.
It should not break the chains if you've got enough on for the weight but it's going to push you into that 4 wheeler if you slam the brakes so her...
I rarely run for less than 2.00, average probably 2.50. But you might have to deadhead 150 or more miles to get a load. Use the board and call...
Good paying freight out of Detroit and a great agent up there. You could do very well
