Hello everybody, I've had my CDL for about 9 months now and I've been with the same company since last fall, I got hired on as an hourly, home daily truck driver hauling dry bulk Lime, I enjoy it because of all the home time I get to have with my wife and starting out the pay was great! I was bringing home $1,000-$1,300 a week AFTER taxes, but now my company has been canceling my loads almost every single week and I'm starting to hurt for money, I need to make more than $600 a week, but I don't know if another job will be the same way.
Apparently the place I deliver to keeps having issues with their silos or they get full quicky and they've been turning away drivers every week, would any other dry bulk company be the same way? I know they all pretty much pay the same and being home daily, driving a day cab is really important to me, but i want to make good money too.
I really like this company, dispatch is incredible and the people in the office work with you the best they can.
What would YOU do?
Should I stay? They keep canceling my loads every week or two.

Have you asked bossman if this is normal ? The way I read it, you attempt to make a delivery and get turned away because the customers silo is full. Then what do you do with the load? Does it sit in the trailer until bossman finds another drop ?
tscottme Thanks this. -

You know? I will ride it out, I'm doing good here and I'm better off than I ever have been and from what I've read, most all trucking companies make the same anyway.
