Think Its A Good One

I know they are out there. I just quit one. I worked half local and half otr and after bonuses, per diems pay and drop pay I was doing $75k and most the time when I ran otr I only ran 4 days a week. never touched a dock or had to deal with any reciever and shipper bs. hmmm...now I'm starting to wonder why I quit!

 

I couldn't slip seat no matter how much time I took off. I get used to a truck and its mine. But thats just me.

 

I didn't slip seat. I had a day cab and I had a sleeper truck. when I drove one the other was sitting. we had all our own trucks and nobody drove anyone elses truck unless something broke down. I was the only guy at our locaton who did the otr regularaly so only I drove my bunk which was an 04 KW t800 then we had a junk freightliner with a small bunk sitting around if anyone else did need to do an overnight on the rare occasion. I had other guys try to drive my bunk and my boss said "absolutely not, that's Al's truck and all his stuff is in it"
I had a great boss too

 

Well good going Dan, you got a raise before even being hired on. Will you get .40 after your 90 days. If your a good driver and employee maybe give it a while and you can negotiate some sort of benefits, they might not want to lose you.

 

Glad to hear it Dan! Especially about the raise, good luck, and when you get a chance, let us know how things are.

 

Why would you settle for something like this?It sounds like absolute crap to me!

 

Why does it sound like crap?

 

It sounds like a good solid run to me. From central Cali right? Anywhere near Fresno? I used to live around there. Really tho, I still want to know why ol boy up there said it sounds like crap.
