got some experience now which way to go ?

You better quit job-hopping pretty soon is my advice. If you're looking for the "perfect job" (trucking or otherwise) you're in for a never-ending quest.

 

If your young enough, I would go to a LTL union job and be set for life.

 

havnt seen a company yet that doesnt beat you out of a few miles
but i hear there are some

 

Welcome to trucking surpera1.Tell you right now,as long as you're hauling van,reefer it's not going to get any better no matter where you go.All companies have flaws.Some are far worse then others.I know it is'nt right but it is what it is and companies do not care.Whenever you have to use your money for washout pay,lumpers ect,DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Just sit there till your dispatcher gives in and pays for it.This may sound cold but if trucking is what you wanna do then you just have to suck it up and stick with one compsny for awhile.But don't use your own money to pay for washouts ect.It could be weeks before you get it back if you even do.I dont use my money for nothing concerning helping a company out.They'll either pay for it or im sitting till they do.

 

Pattyj thank you for your posts. You always have very informative helpful advice and seem to tell it like it is.

 

why thank you.I've been doing this since 2003 so I know the games the companies love to play on the drivers.Its getting worse.I don't like to sugar coat when it comes to trucking because the drivers ecspect the truth.You'll hear more of the truth right here on the forum rather then some website thats probably 10 yrs old and recruiters.

 

Since you set the example I got paid 1434 miles going and 1472 back to Vernon CA, with a 72 mile deadhead added
ictorville, ca. Hope this helps

 

They pay zip code to zip code a lot of companies do that.
