    I'm home for the weekend. When I get time I'll post my last 2 weeks. I've made over 3; between the last two checks. And I had enough miles to take off from friday to tuesday and still have a check.

    Busy weekend at home. I swear home time is more exhausting than weeks of work with no days off. I'll post my last three weeks numbers here in a little while. Picked up a load yesterday in denton texas going to spring valley illinois for tonight. Sitting a few miles away now.

    I'm still around. Still making good money. Just having family problems not really feeling to friendly these days. It will work itself out sooner or later either for the better or for the worse. :biggrin_2553:

    Havent worked for ACT very long have you?? Factor in your taxes and your Health insurance that you dont have. probably dont look that good. Does it bother you that company drivers get all the miles they want?

    What part of he's "making good money" don't you get?

    It's not for everyone but people do make it... Defiantly much much better chance at Act than Cr England lmao :) But then again, I know of two drivers that made it through the CRE lease. Schneider also has a good lease program and a lot of people make it - you don't hear from most since they're busy making money and enjoying it.

    If you can't manage your money, put away for taxes , business expenses and emergencies you shouldn't be leasing or thinking about being an o/o or even running any kind of business, stick to company and be happy. Bigger percentage of people are NOT meant to be business owners.

    Health insurance is a joke. Spent over $3k in premiums in 9 months. Kid gets hurt. Guess who foots the ENTIRE BILL? Why? Because we haven't met the $900 per person deductible. That $3k would have been better banked into an interest bearing account. Guess what we're doing w/ the insurance premium money we are no longer paying.

    So far, so good here.
     
    platinum, Drifter42 and BlackLions Thank this.

    I ran 3000 miles last week. I have full insurance through my wifes work. She's been there 8 years so no worry of that going away. I make more per mile after expenses then I could ever dream of as a company dry van driver. I made more money take home in the month of june then I ever have in my life. Maybe I missed something here but I've been with ACT for a little over three months and it was the best decision I ever made. I make more money and if that wasn't good enough I'm home way more. Because of where I live I get through the house at least once a week. Usually more. The longest I've ever been away was less then two weeks. And that's not counting my scheduled home time. So whatever problem you had with ACT #### sure isn't mine. Perhaps you should look at yourself and see if some of the problems might have started there.
     
    BlackLions Thanks this.
