    My new driving job is bringing the suck to my paycheck. This is something I'm considering again. I have a older truck, '92 F350, in excellent condition running wmo. I think I might make a run at this :biggrin_25519:

    If you can find one , I'd suggest a good used haul and tow. It's a low profile flatbed . Haul one trailer on the bed and pull another . I've seen several in Canada with hydraulic 5th wheels that allow them to tow 5th wheels.
    The flatbed gives more opportunity for backhauls or at the very least load another hauler's pickup on the back and share deadhead fuel costs.

    Jet is no longer going to be in business. They sold the business to Starfleet transport.

    I spoke with their recruiter today. Said she was told to slow down on the hiring. Fixing to go into their slow time and they planned to get rid of a few drivers that weren't pulling their weight.

    I'm planning to start hauling next month. I agree with Rick on the haul and tow. If I like doing this as much as I think I will. I plan to use in the future.

    It's Star Fleet Trucking Inc and Jet is not taking anymore apps. Star Fleet is. If you want a referral tell them I sent ya and let me know. PM me for my Star Fleet Id number.

    Star fleet looks like a good company, unfortunately I don't turn 25 until November. Any other suggestions on companies until I turn 25?
