Ok, get ready to pummel the new guy..

The force is strong in you padawan....help you yes the council will.

I would suggest that you look at all the options.....load boards can get frustrating to say the least...hooking up with a broker...kind of like swimming with sharks......leasing on with a company...if you do your homework on the companies available you could do well and get your feet wet without taking a bath, so to speak

I know one guy is doing fairly well with Jones Motor out of PA...so you could look into them. Just a suggestion for ya.

Good luck driver

 

Ah, we won't pummel you . . . you at least have a couple years under your belt, and have gained some idea of what the industry is all about.

 

OUCH...2 OOS in one year.....dude run away from that outfit

 

Get yourself some subscriptions to some of the load boards to see what's out there. That will give you a start on what kind of freight and rates are out there and gives you a chance to start planning before getting rolling. Load boards are a good starting point, and as you establish relationships with brokers, you can start working direct with them instead of through the load boards.

From things I have read on here and heard from drivers I know, stay away from CH Robinson, at least until you have yourself established. Keep your safety rating up at a good level, which will help you in the future with getting the better paying loads.

 

You may be well off when they drill ,but the tradeoff is your aquifer will be full of chemicals used in the fracking process;and your polluted property will be unsaleable.The only thing your well water will good for will be flushing the toilet,hey you might even get to light your tap water on fire like in the documentary about fracking "Gasland"If you haven't seen it please see it before you sign any contracts with the drillers.If you can't stop the drillers with class action lawsuits I would sell my land and get out of there,before they ruin it and it's unsaleable.Good luck!

 

ITs all about money in the bank. Save save save for that big break down. Keep your butt in the drivers seat, and the rest will work itself out.

 

Hey now, y'all may be missing sumpin here. Imagine being able to fuel your truck from the kitchen sink. Imagine the fun with the fuel tax guys..... "I don't pay fuel tax 'cause I burn tap water". The possibilities are amazing.
