cassens transport anyone??

Welcome to the 'seniority' side of car haul !! Give it about 40 years and you'll be far enuf up the board to lick off the creamier loads.

 

Fml^ I need about 30 people to retire before I'm at the top lol

 

I worked for Cassens for 4 years out of Aurora, IL. No complaints........

 

Welcome to ..... uh ..... here, (what to we call this guy ?? DDS ?) ...... got a story ( you must !! ) behind that user name ...... we're all gossips here so we GOTTA know !

 

no no ive never rolled a truck its just what my dad always told me when i first started driving... keep the shiney side up and the rubber side down and your right about that! i figure in about five years ill be all settled in and can start gettin some better loads lol but today i delivered my first load! damage free on one of the old high rail trucks too! after blowing a main line while loading and taking eight whole houra to finish it only took me four hours to unload! lol they all say it gets easier and faster.... i dont know about all that but still 7 units down damage free and i go load again tomorrow!

 

ill tell all you guys what tho being a truck driver and a car hauler are two completely separate things lol if you have previous driving and flat bed experience it will help but only a little... them trucks are a whole different animal when your behind the wheel!

 

ok please post your starting wage/Pay?

 

well it verys so much from one board to the next and senority has alot to do with it but its gonna ultimatly depend on how fast i catch on and how hard i wanna work i saw one check stub from a guy there who is at 87 k so far this year but im probably lookin at 40-60 and we all make the same wages

 

are you paid hourly, a percentage of the load ETC

 

A lot of 'depends' with that question - - Unionized Company driver, or non. Broker, or driving for a broker. Working under a contract, or working by the load. See what I mean ?

Lots of variables in trucking, especially high value trucking, like Car Haul.
