I currently drive for Danny Herman Trucking as a solo. I get ok miles but I'm not making enough money as the sole provider of my family to support my wife, and 2 kids. I need to bring home a minimum of $1000 a week just for us to scrape by, and I haven't been doing that consistently. I took 4 days home time in September and it killed me for 2 weeks financially. The week of, and after my home time really sucked! It seems the only way to make consistently good money as a solo driver is to never go home! I hate to do it but I'm thinking I might have to switch to team driving. I was recently with a trainer running teams for 2.5 weeks as a refresher and it was incredibly difficult. I really liked the guy and we got along really well, but it was still really hard sharing such a small space with another guy. The hardest part for me was sleeping in a moving, bouncing truck! Still if it means I'd earn enough to take care of my family I would be willing to sacrafice my comfort, sleep, and sanity. I've even thought maybe I should look at going with a different company like Crete etc. that pays more cpm. I would really hate to do that for several reasons. I've only been with DHT for 2 months and I don't want to start job hopping because I'm suffering from the grass is always greener syndrome. I'd hate to leave for another outfit that pays more cpm but I end up getting less miles than I get now, or end up working for a place I hate cause they treat me like crap, and end up hopping to yet another company.That would do nothing to better my situation! I also like DHT. They are far from perfect, and there are things I wish would change, but I really like the areas they operate in, and I get really nice long runs. Is it possible to make a lot more money running teams, or do I maybe just need to find a place that pays more than .40 cpm and hope I get the miles I get now, or more? Or should I just stay solo, and never see home, and hope I earn enough to pay the bills every month?! My family doesn't even have enough money to buy groceries this week or pay our bills! $600-800 a week for a family of 4 just isn't cutting it! I'm totally stressed out, and need to do something! Quick!
