I like Clark and find them to be a solid carrier for operators. My suggestion with Clark and every carrier you are thinking about dining on with is References! Check with at least three other owner operators before you start! Have a list of questions prepared and write down the answers. A few hours now can save you thousands and thousands of headaches later. Talk to the guy who will be your dispatcher, find out about the miles and revenue before you start. Just tell them very politely that this is how you do your homework.

Learn to manage my money huh.... i am a penny pinching jew. just so you know it was 2 guys like me who invented copper wire, fighting over a penny!
"Clark is a specialized hauling company that wants quality drivers that know how to use there head and not just sit behind a wheel."
You guys dont have to think. they do all the loading for you. All you do is get from A to B. Some of the docks may be hard but not really when you have a guy standing outside the truck to help you.
"We are a great company that isn't like all the others but you have to know what you are doing and how to enjoy a job."
How great are they is they must advertise as much as they do? How great are they if i know company drivers who make as much as you guys?
"Third, after 7weeks,you shouldn't even have an opinion to state what is right or wrong that anyone should listen to."
You are brainwashed by the company just like they wanted. The guys i talked to were dumbed down in the trucking world. Less than 3.9749% of clarks drivers have a clue when it comes to how much a truck should make. The happy guys are lazy and just dont know the trucking business. The honest guys were clearing $6000 a month or less after expenses. that is a sick joke of a wage, and it is not what i was told.Bsmoove77 Thanks this. -
Before i started the drivers i talked to were full of poop. When i told my dispatcher that i was working for peanuts he reacted like i was the idiot. The office people are manipulating you guys into exactly what they want- GUYS WHO DONT KNOW ANY BETTER WILL FALL FOR THE BRAINWASHING. but you are making more than you did at swift or the same i bet, which is still a jokeBsmoove77 Thanks this.

So if you are a penny pinching Jew,as you stated,you would not have had a reason to look at Clark,you,with your intelligence should own your own company. What brought you to your knees to come to Clark in the first place?Clark never used to advertise but with the expansion of their business they needed to find more QUALITY along with quantity .We have been in the trucking business as O/O for 42 years,so you see ,we do know how to make a truck make money.So if you are so above Clark individuals,don't waste your precious time on earth worrying about us,we chose to be here and are doing just fine!!

I went to clark because i lost my lease to a much better company, due to an accident. i was not guilty in court but they did not care about anything but csa points. My driving record is clean as can be, its been atleast 5 years since i had any violations or tickets. that is the 1st and last accident i will ever be in(i hope). So i fell for clarks bs.,
"we do know how to make a truck make money." if that is true then you must have given up on putting forth effort, no way are you making that money stuff at clark.
What led me to clark and till now has been a blessing in disguise. Since last november i quit drinking, have a baby boy on they way, and i am making more than ever in trucking. i fought hard to get here and i tried as SMART as i can. Actually if you look back at some of my posts you will see that i have recently applied for my own authority. i am still leased to abc good money tank lines, but soon i will not be giving up 30% of the line haul.
"So if you are so above Clark individuals,don't waste your precious time on earth worrying about us,we chose to be here and are doing just fine!!" I am not worried about you at clark. the point of this (as stated in the beginning) was to prevent others from making a mistake.

I am happy for you,you have found what you like and works for you.you can not speak for others or bad mouth a company JUST because it wasn't right for you, it is for others. We work hard and smart and make a great living here at Clark and we are NOT lazy. Everyone has different individuals wants and needs. Glad you found yours! I just ask you to not leT someOne else find there's.you stated your opinion,so now don't bad mouth the rest of us

I am not bad mouthing. i am stating the truth. there is a difference.
If you do not understand me it is because you dont know any better. I hope someday you will. good luckBsmoove77 Thanks this. -
So...now I am stupid? You stateD what you perceive to be the truth for you. I understand perfectly well.With age, comes wisdOm. Thank you for your correspondence have a great life and I hope you do well in your business . The end

Wisdom does not always come with age. Do proof of numbers come with wisdom and age? please share some numbers and tell us if they are for a single or team. The numbers i saw and others told me they saw are back in the 1st post. Those numbers are a sick joke of a wage for an owner operator. You guys deserve much more pay than you are getting.
I never said you were stupid. I would say you are blind, and you dont have to be. I know you can do better if you put effort into itLast edited: Sep 16, 2013

We base on our fuel percentage and last year was 23 % . With that said it was good money in our pocket,we enjoy our job and the wage that come with it. It is enough for us to pay what little bills we have and do what we want and still have some left to save . All we need.....so as I said,it works for us!
