Quitting one company for another.

I doubt that you will ever find a trucking that does lease purchase with out that tid bit in fine print. They really have no choice and have to have it to protect their investment.

I got a kick out of this. Their is no size requirement to pull flats, you are taller and heavier than my X son in law, and he is a good hand on flatbeds. I have known several skinny gals that had no problems either.

 

I am a local guy that runs nights (4pm start time) and as far as changing your schedule you have to either do the 24 hours up until you are so tired you can fall asleep during the day which isn't the safest or if you are sitting and don't have to drive split your sleep up. I nap a lot but don't really long sleep. I usually get home around 5am and sleep from 6-9 then 12-3 and I'm good to go. As far as hitting a reset on the road I don't really know because I'm off Friday and Saturday so that is my reset every week.

 

wishy washy. No stars this deep in dante's hell.

 

Absolutely but it's not gonna come quickly. I have a minimum hourly pay I will work for and my current employer stepped up to it when they hired me.

 

My flatbed gig was about 135 and tarps were heavier than me and bigger than I was when rolled.

Fortunately I worked a horse farm where it's 7 foot high 3 wide bags of 150 pound feed off the silo several times a week. By hand from Silo to feeding on 30 acres.

School did not teach a #### thing about weight lifting. But that farm taught me how to do a military carry across shoulders and the bones were wonderful then for that work.

Into my late 30's I had a bone survey done about 20 xray pictures one glance the bone doc kicked me out. It was obvious even to me all of them glowed with strength. I have lost half that mass in the spine so far and continue to lose bone when the blood quits feeding it. I am about 3 months from the second hip already. The new parts will be like a new body.

But flatbed? easy peasy. It's when it's 70 miles an hour ice storm and wind howling across the unloading pad soaking all the shingles delivering makes it almost a Pyrrhic victory.

 

The Gen 4 and up hemis are real easy to put in anything. I have a 2014 ram reg cab short bed 2wd that has a blown 392 in it. Cake swap.

 

Sorry. Dantes hell is a story written in fantasy about one visiting the place and finding 7 layers deep, each layer hotter and more bad than the last.

With that said, most trucking companies punch out a order to you to get a empty here and you invest a day or two of your life hunting empties and nothing. What does the suit care after he punched you the instructions. Hes going home. Forgot all about one little empty in a fleet full of them. Supposedly.
