    Man, I’m so happy! I totally lucked into a super gig. I was running OTR for May Trucking. They were ok, and I got along fine over there, but my new gig is AWESOME!

    I pull a pneumatic and haul anything from roofing granules to cement.

    The best part is I’m home most nights. I’ve been here almost 2 months now and I’ve spent the night in the truck a total of 4 nights.

    Additionally, I route myself, fuel myself and loading takes maybe 5 minuets and unloading about an hour.

    Yep sick of sitting, sitting, then a load for the next day. No incentives etc. Good to start but not to stay.
     
    Eggroll'n Trucker Thanks this.

    You are totally on point with that. Thinking of putting in my 6 months then going local or at least regional doing tankers.

    Indeed. Additionally, it’s nice when you come in every morning and talk directly with the owner of the company (small 25 truck outfit).

    5 day work week, off on weekends and major holidays (paid).
