Is This Normal??

2 things I tell every newbie. And it seems to hold true. Buy a truck.
Never lease a truck ever.
You gotta make it 15 months. After those 15 months its like the devil stops chasing you and every thing gets easier.

 

Covenant?

If you don’t want to say the name, tell us what city they are based out of. Or a funny word that rhymes with the company name. Just be careful. I heard in another thread there are microphones in the ELD and they are always listening.

 

Oh
You’ll learn pretty quick ,
In trucking , that your dispatcher will lie quite frequently.
It’s almost like the are a politician or something .

you should definitely text or email and confirm the amount

but getting $100 a day to watch movies in a motel is not too bad .

 

things will get better, after you finish training. hopping to different trainers is only going to make the process take longer.

 

The shortest distance between you and the your solo truck is finish training with your current trainer. I would finish with your current trainer. It's so much easier when you get into your solo truck.

 

That is the wisest thing I've read on the internet all day. I mean that. Why start paying for the truck expenses now when you need to learn the job first.

 

I got that per day as a flat rate of pay when I was on a trainer's truck. Didn't matter whether I drove 5 miles or 500 miles.

$100 a day to hang in a hotel room sleeping and watching TV sounds like a luxury.

 

I'll learn pretty quick?
Do you think I am a newbie?
