Question-Are there any companies that hire drivers to drive their rigs solo?

Keep us updated on who you drive for.....you seem to have the stuff it takes. If you can drive a truck and like to work......forget otr...get a good paying local job.

 

I *think* my school cost $3000. I was contemplating doing schooling through a company, but decided against it. Instead I'm going with Schneider, and they'll reimburse you a certain amount a month, or pay check (I forget), for the school expenses. Many companies do, this isn't Schneider specific, definitely.

I also *think* that CSRT said that they take whatever miles driven that week and divide it straight in half. If you drove 3000 and your partner 2000, you're both are going to be paid X amount a mile at 2500 miles.

It just honestly seemed like there were better team options out there. But then again, I gotta take each recruiter's presentations with a grain of salt. Our CSRT recruiters were new, and definitely didn't know how to sell their company as well as the others. For all I know, they're all full of crap. I just hope I'm going with the lesser of the crappy starter companies out there. That's about the best I can do, I suppose.

 

It deters spammers. You'd be surprised how many run around forums and try to be sneaky.

 

Hey what did Schneiders recruiters tell you guys as far as benefits/training and pay?

 

Ray almost every company hires solo drivers.As you know CRST is team operation and if you can't find someone to team with once training is over,they'll find someone for you.I don't know why they're team,alot of times they're doing solo runs.Which means you'll be making spending money is all with CRST.

 

Ray I do like your attitude.You're going to go along ways in this industry.When I first started I knew I would'nt make alot of money.Trucking is a very demanding carreer and there's no give and take.It's all about the company.More ppl then not don't make it because nothing seems to go their way.But if you can develope a good relationship with your dispatcher they will try and work with the drivers within reason.But companies as a whole can really put stress on you.But there's nothing you can do about it.They will not cater to any single driver.You either suck it up or move on.Companies could care less if you quit or not.Drivers are only hurting themselves.
