new trucking family & we are STARVING! It has to be better than this!??

ok Thanks so much sounds like a smart plan!

 

H, & No, his gross looks decent (wish we could keep that lol but his bring home After the 450.00 deductions is next to nothing! last weeks pay was $280.00. we just can't do much but buy food with that and maybe one Small bill here n there. We will not qualify for Gov't help due to his Gross. :/ The company we are with is supposed to take home that per week, but we haven't seen it yet. He did talk to his FM & he keeps saying he is trying to get him more miles but "something" always happens. like today, he has sat unloaded for 7 hours on clock due to yet another mess up from csr. they made appointments for several drivers that were already out of hours last night, so they all had to wait today to be fixed. crazy! Thanks for your reply I know somehow we will get this new life in control lol oh & we are from Southern WV.

 

Buckshot3448, Hello We are trying to work with the FM & he is very nice, he says my husband shows a great work ethic. Problems just keep happening to mess up the week of miles & pay for us. like today he has sat 7 hours on clock!! Due to csr making appointments for several drivers last night who were already out of hours! so they had to all wait today to be fixed. uggg just always something. a good run will be ruined by weeks end every time. thanks for your reply, we want to do well, so just trying to ask n learn

 

Rollin Coal, thanks for your reply. lol We are new, & clueless, Right now, But do not plan on staying this way I am a fast learner, my husband is an amazing worker, and this is all brand new to us, but I have been reading hours a day on what we need and what it takes in all areas of this business. I wanted to understand the IC & o/o side better, it does interest us, but I know we are so new to the game that the odds are not on our side to be owners yet! I like the challenge though. I did say somewhere on here, I want FIRST to build a good solid foundation and just be able to pay bills, & eat before anything else. We will find our path, & I am seeking as much input from experienced drivers as I can get! So any great info is welcome. Have a great, safe day, & thanks so much for your input
