    My dad has been driving for them for about 6 months now. His only complaintant is the amount of miles he is getting. I know he wants to run around 3k plus a week and he is getting about 2k to 2500 a week. Otherwise he is liking it.

    if you have any questions on them let me know I will pick his brain for you. if you have specific questions please pm me the details and I will pass them on to him....

    I just got that answer for you.....

    33cpm X 3000 miles a week = $990 week
    3000 miles x 45 weeks = $44550

    Did the calculation based on 45 weeks, because I don't know how much you want to run. He can give you better information on raises and what not.

    I also sent you a pm so you can contact him directly with any other questions you have. It includes his cell phone number.

    Couldn't send you a pm, because of settings here.


    Removed Personal Data. I will have to find another way to put you in contact with him so I don't violate the rules here....

    He can answer any questions you have.

    Do they hire in Michigan? (and take truck home)

    Do they have a per diem pay option?

    Is there regular freight to L.A.?

    Thanks in advance

    Is Wood not working out for ya there buddy? I thought you had liked it. Anyhow, myself and a friend of mine have some trucks leased on where you are now. We are in the west coast produce fleet. Nice long miles. Cali,AZ to southeast or midwest and then back to the coast. PM me if you're interested.

    Actually nothing wrong here at all. I just cant ignore .9 cents more a mile and great equipment. It does feel bad looking around because they are great people to work for. I was on the produce originally when they got the account. Each time I got the load, they booked it as a team. A couple times it was just late, a couple times repowered. Then one day they told me they lost the account so I would not be pulling it anymore. Something tells me thats not the case. My Girlfriend is in SoCal so I would like to get out there regularly, but now all the cali frieght seems to go to said produce "teams" or possibly guys that want to run like a team somehow. (not sure how they get past safety, good greif) So thats disapointing.

    I dont want to be a jumper, but man, I cant ignore the higher pay and better equipment. So I have to look into it at least.

    9 cents more? Are you frigging kidding me? So Wood is only paying you mid-twenties per mile? If that's the case, you really need to talk to my friend...he would give you a raise like what you are talking about...or at least close to it. And yes, the produce division is still going strong. And no it is not all team loads...niether him(my friend) nor I employ any teams and all of our trucks are in that division.
