Depending on where you live it should be very doable. Of course you may have to give it a month or so while all the pieces fall together. If you have the FAST, TWIC and CDL endorsements already. It will give you a leg up as well.

I live in Taylor, MI, m 45 min from seatgate terminal. I do have Fast, and Hazmat, Twic card I would have to apply. I really wanted give a try and see how things go. Right now I'm working "local" hauling auto parts from Michigan to Canada for Honda, 5 days week, $222 a day, drop/hook. I guess have some decision to make....

Looks like you have a rather decent gig as it is. I assume you are home most nights? Seagate does a lot of Canada stuff for Ford as well.
-
Yes, I'm home everyday, I start my day around 5pm and I'm home by 6am next day. Did you have to deal with live load/unload at ford in Canada? I take home $880 after tax, and insurance.
-
We only had to deal with live unload/load at supplier points. Oakville was always a drop n hook.
Man, I don't know your financial situation. But for that amount, I'd stay put. -
To add to my last response. Seagate watches the driver's available hours. And at times the driver can find them selves on a crazy sleep schedule. Where they do their 14 on and then 10 off. It may be one day sleeping at night and the next during the day. Swapping back and forth like that is worse than night shift.traveler770 Thanks this.

So could u tell me weekly average pay after expenses came out...I'm thinking about joining them next week because I need to be home a little more than what my current company can offer, I'm in the Chi area already been talking to Jeff just want to make sure they are good like he's telling me...thanks and please give me your honest and true feedback...

A buck a mile as a lease operator? The hell?
-
It was higher while I was there. I'd have to look back but I think I was averaging 1.35. Which still isn't great but I still managed to take home $1200 a week after expenses. Hopefully they didn't cut back that much.
My present gig is way better.
