Only $30k Gross First Year? Old Dominion is Just a Stepping Stone??

Listen, I'm not saying it's never happened in the history of trucking. Lots of weird things happen every day but truckers have a lot of free time and stories get embellished to say the least.

 

Drug test almost always work like this in my experience. You pull into the yard or you are scheduled to come in and your dispatcher calls you and says "I need to see you" and she won't say why. That is a dead giveaway that you are about to pee.

 

This was my first year and only year but I did hit just above 45k

 

I will share a message a friend of mine sent me last week when I had asked him about Covenant. He is a driver for Old Dominion.

"I'm sorry Sheila, I meant to reply to you this weekend. I don't know much about Covenant. If they were really bad I'm sure I would have. lol. Just a thought, the company I work for pays you to train. We have a terminal in Decatur IL which I think is not far from where you live. The good thing about Old Dominion is we only run terminal to terminal. No backing in docks and waiting to get loaded or unloaded. The pay is good as well. Team drivers top out at 70 cents per mile. That's an easy 100k a year per driver. Just something to think about. If I can help anymore just give me a shout. Wish I could tell you more about Covenant."

 

Can't speak for od but an estes driver my dad knows does about 1700 wk on linehaul

 

He's BSing or no motivation to get a decent job.

 

If your thinking about teaming and if shes owner op look into fedex. you have be a limited liability company
