    Never happen. He’s to good for that. His next request to go with a real truck is to get that job that only runs him between Dallas Texas and Eloy Arizona.

    Agreed

    A few points from my experience trying to get on with long nose tractor fleets:
    1. Most hire friends and family only
    2. They make around 1k a week for w2 drivers; I talk to a couple of hopper and wrecker drivers at such companies
    3. Mostly pneumatic, dump, oversized, hopper, and intermodal
    It's actually easier getting on with a armored fleet that gets defense contracts where they just want proven drivers who can get security clearance. .. Believe it or not...

    Buy your own REAL truck, pay for your own REAL fuel, go your own REAL speed, set your own REAL schedule.

    Oh, wait... you wanted to make money, too?

    Drive the plastic truck, get 8+ mpg, profit.

    Quite a bit of “REAL” in that statement.

    Those "real" plastic trucks will make you more money, especially with today's fuel prices. There's been youtube videos proving this.

    Hell with the youtube videos....common sense should be enough. Besides, a brand new 389 or W900 doesn't do the job any better than a well maintained Century or Columbia would.
