Running Smooth, thank you for the reply& I agree, I want to find that stability now more than anything! I am so excited about what can become of all of this one day! I know it's very hard work, but we will stick with it. We are going to give this company a little longer, & then look for someone new if things do not change. We just do not want to jump around, so we must be very selective to keep a great work history. Have a great safe day! & again, thank you for your time & honest, helpful reply!
new trucking family & we are STARVING! It has to be better than this!??

My husband works for a Co out of AR, they had a great training & are very nice, but like I said the money has not been here yet. I think this company is considered a good company? lol But I seen where others on here called this one & tmc bottom feeders?! I guess they run low cost & undercut the others?? well, I'm too new to really get into all that. lol my hubby has a twic card, but no other endorsements. being home is good, but right now eating would be great so whatever it takes
lol I go with him about ever 5 weeks, I LOVE it!! My boys are older 22, 18, 16 except our 8 year old, we want to take him too, but so far no one will allow that. that was another reason why buying was attractive, so we can have that freedom to do it our way when we want. maybe one day :/
& I will do the app's for him, I am his paper work queen
haha I take care of whatever needs to be done. I jus want us to be ok soon! But I want to be careful, we like our work history, & do not want to become a job hopper! Thanks again, & be safe!

Hello 77smartin, no, I am not employed. I have kidney failure & related heart issues. I can't breathe well with normal activity, & my muscles are getting weaker by the day... & I'm not old, lol 42, so this has been awful for me, as I am very active, well, I WAS....but I have been doing my part here with the 4 boys, & hubbys secretary
We have a lot going on, it's not been easy. Our youngest is home schooled due to seizures & immune system issues. He also has weak muscles. (we are currently undergoing genetic testing to see if mine & his are related) I also have a jewelry shop here, I make & sale custom jewelry.
I sell on ebay, etsy, facebook. I try to do all I can to help. We had a savings, but he was laid off last Oct, then started cdl training in Feb, with our current company for 3 months, Now it's been almost 9 months with this company with very small income. He is almost at 6 months solo & contract will be over. Hoping things shape up or we will have to ship out
We are strong & hard working family. I just want to help get this new career off the ground. My biggest fear is I will go down hill, & he will not be set back up financially for him & the boys. Thanks for your reply. Have a safe day!

Don't worry about job hopping; being new it won't hurt him to change companies a couple of times. If he's not making much money, then jump ship. Do some applications and if a company calls and want to hire him, then go for it. Get that hazmat endorsement.
lisamomof4boyz Thanks this. -
If he can stay out on the road and get in a good flow with freight he will make money. Companies like guys that will run for weeks at a time.lisamomof4boyz Thanks this. -
ok, Thanks so much for the honest help! I lived in Las Vegas about two years when I was younger!LOVED it there! But came back home to the mountains to raise my family
Have a good day!

Love ya Chinatown...but your retired with little worries...this family is in a pickle and jumping from a burgundy truck to a black truck ain't gonna solve the immediate needs. -
