Driving gap

Where is your location? That will be a determining factor.

 

Also, will your current gig be easily variable?

 

Another 3 months and you won’t have to worry about being a circus clown anywhere else again.

 

Monroe, Louisiana?....

Try KLLM:

Over-the-Road Class-A CDL Company Driver - KLLM Transport Services

Becuz of your driving gap -- you will likely have to do the 9-day refresher they mention in the above link.

But after that -- you will likely have a decent gig.

After that refresher -- stay with them for AT LEAST ONE YEAR.

That track record should then open many other doors for you, later on.

Please try KLLM. They're a good company all around, family

 

I’m not going to try to talk you out of quitting, because your mind is already made up. I would like some clarification and perhaps you can figure out a better negotiation plan for the next gig:

Are you paid percentage? The way you describe things, the dedicated freight has to pay quite well. If that were the case, deadheading wouldn’t bother me because load board rates are so crappy and a massive waste of time. As an owner op, I would bounce back easily if my dedication freight paid enough for round trip and a profit margin. If you are paid mileage and no deadhead pay, that’s straight up robbery. I would not bounce.

“Found some way around the ELD.” If you sign off at the end of your day and VERIFY, they can go into the system and make changes to your available HOS? Can you prove this? This is LEVERAGE for a criminal mind. Can you smell what the Rock is cookin?

There’s no such thing as an advance to an owner op.
