Questions list For new drivers.

I was offered a job hauling chicken feed to farms in candor north carolina. auger trailer Night shift 12 hours they said the pay was $20 an hour .47 cents a mile and $25 a stop with minimum average of 4 stops and I guess because I'm new to the field I'm not sure how to work out my pay exactly. Like would I make 20 an hour plus the .47 cents and stops or am I getting paid hourly when I'm stopped? Anyone with the patience to explain this to me?

 

I jus t wanted to introduce myself , hi . I am as my name suggests, broke down .l'm looking for a job that does not require me to burn my clothes on a regular basis

 

I hope im posting in the right place , no cdl yet . Tcat , has cdl classes starting up in march , in shelbyville Tn .

 

??? What do you mean burn your clothes on a regular basis?

 

Because youre going to get funky , grease , waste , ole red clay ground into your clothes rips sewing up knees and crotch until it looks ridiculous. You go thru alot of clothes . Bib overalls only protect from cold , plastic on some occasions . Knock out 70yr old cast iron drains on a repipe then drag'em out of crawlspace or floor joists from upstairs . I could go on .

 

Western Express has a decent flatbed division and hires new cdl school grads.

 

Thanks China but i sure hope i can do better than Western after the things ive read . I ll take what i can get though, not looking the gift horse in the mouth and such .

 

You'll probably have plenty of choices. Western is a good backup plan. Not as bad as people say. @bryan21384 can verify that.
Do you live in Shelbyville? Bryan and I both from Tennessee.

 

Marshall county , nxt county to west

 

Its not bad at all. I enjoyed my time at Western running flatbed. I got to see the whole country with a quickness. Pay 0 attention to reviews. Trucking is all about what you put into it. If you keep your head down, run the miles, do what's asked of you, and learn to adapt to the company's way of doing things, then you won't have a bad experience at any company. I ran some miles there. Never sat for longer than a few minutes with them. There a bunch of options for us Tennesseans though. I like the attitude of taking what you can get. Many people will come on here with questions about every single company......gotta admit that gets aggravating. The time they spend looking for info on every company, they could be out here making money and gaining experience.
