They are holding a lot of revenue back, the company I am at gets me $2/mi for 18% which includes all trailer maintenance and insurance. I pay...
Hope this is working out for you, I just cleared 82cpm on my load, as an owner operator glad I left Conway.
I looked at all these things, talked to the recruiters, got numbers from them and it looked to only make sense training as a mentor. So, I went...
Eric, did you find a co driver? I am solo making more than teams without the conflicts nor space constraints. I actually have a buddy who took...
How's it going? I was looking into it when I was at Swift, it made sense to me as a mentor but not solo and never to my wife, a guy came on the...

Dms are swamped if they don't do it right away, they forget. Send a message via qcomm and stay on them. If you have ever seen your dm at the...
A few things to do before you leave. I was with Swift for 16 months and was a trainer. 1. Be on your Dm, he can pull loads for you. 2. See if...
I hope you didn't take it if you couldn't fix it. I would have denied the equipment all together as chassis stink, which is why I left them. (
