Help: I Need To Get Away From My Current Company

You got your CDL's 6 months ago? How many do you have?
Also, we need to know the extent of the driving record damage etc before anyone can comment.
For my .02 though, I am a firm believer in there being 2 sides to every story.....

Take lots of pictures of the truck during the day to show the condition of it.

Clean out the truck before you take it to the shop.

next time you take it back to the shop....

Do so at night leaving it secure in HIS garage. Take pictures with date/time stamp showing thing.

Leave.

Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Find the local phone book and start to call and find local companies to where you work and see if one of those smaller companies will work with you.

At 6 months experience, you are likely getting to the point more people will start to consider you.

 

Were you in NC last week, at a rest area on I-95 South? I think I saw that trailer - white with "exotic car hauling" stenciled on the back. Thought it was a bit odd, myself. Expected to see better equipment for expensive cars.

 

This is the very reason why I always tell young and new drivers to start as a company driver, I remember a guy some years a go I gave him this advise and he kept telling me that he had the money to buy a new truck and just gut his license, I told him numerous time to forget about buying a truck and start with someones else's equipment, long story short the next time he called my was to ask me if I wanted to buy his truck.

I have known kids that have more experience and drive better than a lot of experience drivers, because they grew up on a trucking family, but they had to do the time as company drivers in order to log the miles and time before buying their own trucks and become owner operators.

 

What's your driving record look like?

 

Exotic transport is one of the most expensive things to insure, your driving record and your experience won't help that either, who is the company?

 

A company is going to have to run you past their insurance company if they are legit. So as far as the driving record goes, it's going to be in the hands of the insurance company. If they say no then you're SOL. If you own that truck outright, there is no way you should be starving unless that 30,000 is for all six months.
