The all new System Transport thread

I cant speak for their otr. People I know are saying don't do it. I stay weekends and can get 1000 dollars a week if im lucky. Usually not lucky enough for a load long enough to stay busy a whole weekend... Robert's 450. Pretty sure thats the key anywhere you work. It's easy to get with a company that doesn't have the miles tho.

 

Its hard to get miles when they don't give you load and make you constantly sit all over U.S. in one of the yards. I had last ####### dispatcher who thought I needed reset every time I'd get 20-30hrs on my 70. Ended up sitting in Gary 2-4 days sometimes without a load.

 

Wow thats ruff. Guess I got it pretty good here with dedicated shippers and receivers.

 

How are things going there? Saw a pretty mangled up tarp job on a piece of machinery the other day on a system step. Starting to reap what they sew

 

I didn't think it was possible for a system truck to get a speeding ticket

 

I just talked to a System driver making 43 CPM and he made $48k last year.

That is such crappy pay for an experienced driver it's pathetic. I made $10k more and I never had to tarp a load. AND I'm a less experienced, skilled driver.

Meanwhile over at TWT, I meet drivers that are struggling for 2000-2500 miles a week at 45 cpm.

 

They get them in construction zones, 55 cali, residential areas etc.

 

I see they are advertising pretty heavy again. This Saftey push must be to get all the old times out to get fresh meat in that can be trained they way TSI wants them trained. God forbid if a driver can think for themselves.
