    I raised up in San Jose . I live in South Jordan now . I see a lot of ShipEx around here . Since you asked for input my two cents is you have a strong work ethic and you’re super positive . That’s awesome . ShipEx is lo balling you though . If you lived in Salt Lake you could get home every night or every other night on a turn and sleep in a hotel on your breaks at 75k plus a year plus fully paid insurance plus weekends off plus hourly delay after fifteen minutes for anything plus most of weekends off . Subscribed and good luck amigo

    Yep nailed another 650 miles weds and then 459 on Thursday to deliver today at 7am

    They preloaded me to pickup out of Palmyra PA, 22 miles from my drop. Kinda nice, didn't have to go very far to get the next load and now heading back to UTAH. Another nice long run, just how i like it, into the east then out of there:D

    Ahhh I see.. It's funny, had a few comments like his before and then no one ever follows up with the details. Lots of companies out there that say it's better pay etc.. But when it comes down to it we as the individual driver have to research and find our best fit. Some companies offer more money but that's not always the case it's a roll of the dice in many cases to find a good fit.

    Well pretty much ran my self out of hours. Only 4 left and 5 coming so best to do a 34hr reset here. Only 549 miles to delivery in Ogden UT tomorrow. They already have me preloaded to pickup my next load right in Ogden and head on back out to Ohio. That's another 1700 plus miles after this one. Hopefully will hit the minimum 10,000 miles for the month to at least lock in the safety bonus. After taking 8 days off this month it won't be easy. Will see what happens

    We all have our preferences, as long as you are happy that’s all that matters!
