Are you OTR/regional bucket drivers making any money?

Must not be a whole lot of bucket heads on here, anyone know anything about R&J/John brown or CDJ bulk?

 

ex-bucket hauler here talked to a couple cdj drivers they all seemed happy but they did tell me they wanted the trucks parks on the yard on the weekend

 

I pulled one for KBS in York, pa for a few months... Kinda enjoyed the challenge of the job... Always stayed interesting... Just hated the dispatcher... One week I'd gross 1200 and the very next week I'd gross 700... They pay percentage so I never knew what my chel would be if I ran new runs all week... Sometimes I do miss the job... Just not the company

 

Anyone know of a company running buckets out of or hiring in Alabama?

 

CDJ only hires in the souther region and they have low rates. R and J has decent rates. End dumps are slow right now and Arsenburger used to be decent but end of 08 they took a bad hit and have never recovered

 

Southern Haulers

 

CDJ is only hires in the south. R and J and John Brown are sister companies and are good companies. I worked for R and J for 7 years and enjoyed it. I left to do my own thing. anything you want to know about R and J trucking or John Brown I can tell you the good the bad and the ugly
