Not making enough at CREngland

Seems hitting people has become normal now. Nobody really gives a second thought.

 

Whatever you do jobwise will be affected by what you do now… do not rush trying to make money when on a load because you already have a preventable on your record . Knowing that I’d tighten the belt a bit and stick it out for a full year to improve my driving record..

 

You're under there contract, correct?

Currently clearing 1k per week, correct?

Unless you can pay that contract off....stay put if you can stand it.

 

The 1st year will kick your rear, believe it. School of hard knocks on top of you learning everything. Why alot of newbies bail the 1st year.

Ask C R E about a dedicated acct. What doesn't kill ya makes you stronger.

 

As your experience level grows -- you become worth more.

But this is not an overnite thing. It takes time.

The above poster is right -- that 1st year or so in the saddle is easily the worst.

Do your absolute best to get/keep a good safety record (i.e., accidents/incidents/tickets).

Later on -- if you stay in/with it....with a good safety record....you'll be worth good money.

Also -- if you don't already have them -- consider getting the relevant CDL endorsements: tanker, hazmat & doubles/triples.

More endorsements = more opportunities = more $$$$$$$$$ later....

Do you have endorsements?

 

Actually, paywise, you're doing pretty well for a new driver, just beginning the career.
Marten has a minimum weekly pay guarantee, but not sure the qualifications for that.
You can do really well with a linehaul or tanker job. Where is your location?
Those linehaul jobs require all the endorsements.

 

Yes, it was directed at you, and that's the point, you're not taking offense.
