    They deliver new trucks all over the country , they'll fly you to terminals where they piggyback the trucks together three or four at a time then you deliver them to customers then fly back and get more from laredo , Macungie , Ohio , South Carolina etx . 1.30 a mile and you pay your hotel , cab and some of the fuel they pay the airfare . It's lucrative and you own nothing . I made two grand a week there just delivering but I wasn't really in a good lane ( south utah ) so I ended up buying a truck instead

    If you have your passport and can go to Canada they'd hire you , even with little to no experience on the road if you're willing to get trained

    You're a contractor so you go home when you want work when you want , I used to run 3 weeks then take 2 weeks off . No expenses while you're home because it's their trucks . If you sign on with the Union it's more likely a regular schedule of time off

    If you only need 700 a week you could run 2 weeks and take 2 weeks off , make 2 to 4 k In 2 weeks

    They pay well to start , based in Chattanooga , decent rep , better than starting with England , Werner etc. They run Freightliners and do lease purchase also

    Hey no worries that's why we're here , to help , WEL , seen them a lot , i've never heard a driver complain about them. In general freight basically you throw most of them in a hat and they're all the same. The determining factor for you should be how often can they get you home, starting pay and how many miles can they get you every week.
