Just got back from the road with prime

One of my friends on the lease side sent me a summary of what he's been doing lately... the average is quite a bit more than any of that.

 

Thanks for helping kill the convention business in my hometown.

 

LOL I quit that job for a darn good reason. I didnt like the union and there political views and also the fact that they had ways of finding out about your political views. My father is a union Mechanic for Ford and my older brother is a union Iron Worker in Chicago and they both do good. My Brother makes more then I ever will but then again I dont have the balls to walk a 6 inch peice of steel 800 feet in the air. I enjoyed driving a truck and cant wait to get back to it. I was told I can get a job with UPS in Chicago but I enjoy OTR so I am stuck in that predicament. Money or what I enjoy?

 

Irregular-load, OTR is not a job for a family-man.

 

I know its not for a family man but I enjoy the hell out of it. I mean working for UPS would be nice because the money is that good and the benefits cannot be beat. Its just being stuck in this position to decide what I am going to do.

 

Hi guy's,

I am a lease operator for Prime, about halfway through my first lease. The trick is creating a plan and towing the line. Some good, some not so good. It's a balance game, and if worked correctly, you can make it work for you.

As for a family man or woman, you must pay more attention. A small mishap can take several weeks to recover from. Paying the mortgage, car payments, and all of the other domestic finances is a big job for a solo driver. Teams would work well for the husband/wife combo, provided they watch the line and stick to the plan.

Just food for thought...
Be Safe and Have Fun !!!

 

Thank you Nick

actually 6000 miles per week as a team is pretty good.

 

yes thats about right as a team 6-7,000 miles a week is quite a bit of driving.I have been doing that all summer with my trainer.
