Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

Yeah I tried and it's a no go. I'm getting pretty desperate for a good change things where I'm at are gettin worse and worse....

 

I always thought the big R was a decent company to pull for

 

Don't get me wrong, it's a good company but recently my miles have been dropping.. And it's got me questioning why? I've never been late, I take every load, I don't complain (to my fm anyways) lol.. I should say it's on and off like last week, I added it up 2456 was my total miles... The week before that was 2682... When I first started to up until 4 weeks ago I was getting no less than 2900 and plenty of weeks I saw 3000+ I can't figure it out... The only thing that I can think of is since I've gotten my raises they cut the miles back, and I've heard this before, heck my trainer told me that it happens! I never thought it could be true because they've always ran me hard and each week it's gettin a little worse. Today I had to drop off in Chicago from Gary in, whoppin 30 mile trip... For driving into Chicago I don't think the 5 bucks I made was worth it.
I don't like to complain I still think they are a good company maybe it's just been an off couple a weeks I'm ready for home!!

 

It happens here too, sometimes you feel like the bug and sometimes your the window

 

Looooong day today. 580 miles worth through PA, CT, RI, and MA.

Week's numbers are:
Revenue: $3800 ish in 4 1/2 days.
Expense: $1100 for the truck stuff
Fuel: $1100
Should see about $1600 on Friday. Not bad for four days!

But man I'm beat......

 

I would never encourage any one with only 6 months exp to become an O/O no matter how you do it. I would encourage you to become a SNI company driver learn the system and then switch to IC after more exp. I'm not saying you couldnt be successful but its hard with years of exp let alone 6 months. Good luck either way.

 

Good day. 480 miles, drove west to NY, picked up a D/H. Drove to PA and dropped it, then picked up my next D/H at the same customer. Then drove east right back to the same ts I was at this morning! Make this D/H in the morning, drive 5 miles and pick up my next D/H, which is going back to PA.

Good times.....

 

Hey Sadwar, where do you park when you take time off in Florida?

 

Looking good! Nothing wrong with that for 4 days work! Heck! That is awesome..

 

SNI has a drop lot near Orlando I believe
