only 6 months otr exp

thought i would post this here as there are many new drivers that might not want to stay otr for a year or more before getting a local job. also i cant stand the megas lol Ruan Transportation has a school for drivers with 6 months exp in Clovis NM, if you dont want to stay on the road they have many local accounts across the country, also regional accounts, tanker, van, flat etc. i havnt went to their school so i cant provide any info. you can search their website for areas and openings that might be available after training. sounds like a recruiting ad now that i read it,lol im just passing along anything that i think might be usefull to someone. hey look at me, i think i made a nice post, maybe im not so bitter and miserable, therapy may be helping lol

 

im sure the account you run on and where is different for everyone, but i worked on a ruan acct for 7yrs, it was one of the few driving jobs ive had in over 20 yrs that i wasnt worked to death, i did alot of short runs and was home within 7-9 hrs, did i make alot? well i can assure you this, for the time i spent working vs the time i spent home i certainly did better than any mega when you compare it hourly or by the mile, i added it up everyday for both, is 50k alot per year, well i couldv made more but i didnt complain because there were many days i left my house and was back at house within 7 hrs. all i kno is ive worked for ruan and ive also drove for companies that rent penske and ryder trucks. some good some not.

 

i know they are big, i look at their website often for openings across the country, i know at one pount they had the tallest building in downtown des moines iowa lol but im lazy, and ruan was the easiest job ive had for the money, i was just offering soneone who might be lookn for other options some advice that may or may not be helpfull. could ruan be considered a mega, i guess if you look at it as a whole, when i was with ruan they shared an office with swift, ive listened to the way the dispatchers on the phone talked to the drivers, you can keep that nonsense. but im sure the same can be said for a ruan account sonewhere,but that wasnt my exp

 

i dont wanna debate it, i dont work for ruan, i dont have to work for a mega, i can do whatever i want, im just offering suggestions. if someone wants to work for swift or jb hunt have at it, ive worked for both, not bad jobs just not worth the money for me, but no different than any company depends on what your doing there, guy above talked about how ruan lost that account, ive worked on accounts for jb hunt that they lost, thats not the point.

 

not to change the subject but if you live in a state that doesnt allow large gatherings due to the virus just book a cheap flight on an airline for all of you and your friends because apparently its ok to be stuffed on a plane with people but not in church or at the bar, so drink up on the plane with 100 of your friends lol
