Starting with Schneider bulk

Yeah, I meant bulk easier than flatbed. My bad.

I just returned to driving after recovering from spinal surgery. I can concur the wear and tear is marginal

 

You want wars and tare but lots of $$ try food service. Both McLane and Sygma keep posting job ads wherr I live saying home every night and 65k to start.

 

I worked for Performance Food Group for a couple of years before getting into tanker. The first month I did tanker work, it felt I was on vacation. I don't miss delivering food at all nor the beating my body would take on a daily basis. Here in Maine, a lot of places have stairs and it was always a pleasure when you slipped in the ice and the 400 lbs of product you where hoofing fell down on you.

 

You earn every penny from what I was told. You have either a 1 day run or 2 day run to unload the whole trailer yourself plus having to back a 48ft trailer into places not meant for trailers. I see McLane a lot at gas stations and just wonder how he managed to back around all the cars in the lot to put his rear at the door.

Some people on here claim you can easily make 100k in food servers but those runs are usually the hardest but not always. You start off on extra board so you work 24/7 till you can bid on a route and have a fixed schedule of some sort.

 

You live in Houston so it shouldn't be hard to find a good paying local tanker job. Not much in ways of local work here other than food serves, jb hunt has local work, and a bunch of class B work like cement trucks, gravel trucks ext.

 

Yeah when I reread it I that makes sense, I was too quick to assume the worst, lol. I thought you meant flatbed is easier if you use your noodle. Glad to hear otherwise!

 

I thought you were in Houston too @newbietrucker91
