Greer, SC

I graduated and got my cdl and within two weeks I was training with Superior, roughly a week or two after applying. You are not hired officially until completing hazmat training in Greer, which is a week long. It was over a month of training total for me, with 3 trainers. I believe 2 out of 3 have to approve you before you set out into the system.

As far as runs, I run a lot of New York/Pa and Illinois. I like running the same old places, would love a dedicated run. You really don't have to run yourself to death to make a good paycheck though.

Also, if you haven't registered for Greenville Tech yet, make sure you get there quite early on registration/orientation day. I was there 30 minutes early and got one of the last spots, as the classes fill up quickly.

 

You will have the same, short runs out of Greer. You will then be routed directly back to Greer, as the terminal makes more money if their domiciled driver is pulling it. You will make $50,000- $55,000 your first year there. If you want to earn $70,000 a year, you won't do it out of Greer.

 

Interesting, I did not know that it was harder to make money at different terminals. Due to the location, I would imagine that Greer drivers spend a lot of time on i-77 and the i-40 gorge. Those will slow you down.

 

No, Greer dispatch does not allow the majority of their drivers into the system. They are routed back to Greer as soon as they reach their inbound terminal. There is a group of drivers there that are allowed out in the system, but that list is limited to five drivers, who do ALOT better annually than the majority. The terminal is payed more per load if a domiciled driver is pulling it, therefore Greer makes sure they have their drivers home within 6-7 days. Sucks, but that is the game there.
