American Truckerthe flying scotsman Thanks this. -
Ouch on the pay. But I think everyone has those kind of weeks. My worst was $435 for 3100 miles. That week I was only paid for two loads because the high dollar load was delivered two hours after the pa cut off. But I no longer work there

I watched about one of your videos ~ we all think about that here and then - the trick is to not jump it too fast but rather like talk to LS some and just see how it goes on their end ..... with what I saw for the LS their people will know what you are facing so just ship them any info they ask for and if they do say to make the jump ask them <= not current employer, how much notice LS thinks you should give current employer as where you are going is better kept clean than what is behind your future, sorta like the D.A.C. critical remarks but to be approached at a definitely greater professionalism
in the industry I worked before I learned after 3-4 hire / fires to not even ask what the company one is leaving thinks about it as when you get to interview in future pre-hire interview they know some companies do bad-mouthing and if you are sitting for interview someplace that does not realize that you want to break it and G.T.F.O. rapidoso & just walk away and never worry about it ....
hard lesson that continues to get occasional hard knocks
that is 100 times better than engine knock
