How much experience is "experience"

Well i dont know how other companies work, these other guys know more about that than me.

In my case with my company the miles are always there. Some guys may not be protecting their hours, wasting time on duty not driving. Some guys wont drive unless the weather is nice, wont drive at night, stop a lot and fiddle dick around, etc.

In my case we are moving every single day. If we arent we are paid layover, so you can imagine it doesn't happen very often. It might happen tomorrow actually. My codriver is sick. We will see.

If youre willing to work you can start out making pretty good. Lots of lazy folks that just want the easy money. As a driver and a worker, you'll be looking pretty good I think. It is for me anyway.

 

Whats interesting is I did labor before and made almost nothing. But once i had a CDL in hand and started driving, my labor pay works out to be about $30 an hour. Lol crazy. I still get miles too.

 

Some trucks get pretty fancy. If you are chising between two companies and one offers an APU, go with that company.

If you podast on your phone you and AUX your phone to the trucks stereo and have it on speakers nice n loud. I do that with my Pandora sometimes, it's great.
