Trans Am as a company driver Good at first, turn Bad at end for me.

see I love how people who dont read a whole post decide to chime in. As far as signing a lease and expecting to go home all the time that was not the case. I stay out 2 months at a time before going home for 2 days then heading back out again. I have been doing this 13 years and know how to run a truck and make money. But when your not given the miles to run or you sit on an empty call for 56 hrs because they gave you a load and said they had something lined up to get you out there is nothing you can do about it when they give that load to another driver to get him home and your left stuck no matter how much you call and bug them to get you rolling. Loss utilization doesnt help that much with that. Also when you remind them two weeks and then a week before you are supposed to go home and yet they still forget, even tho you let them know 2 months in advance of your home time request. I dont see how thats really your fault either. It all depends on your driver manager and the yard you work for. I have heard good things about rockwall but nothing good comes out of olathe except craig on nights and weekends. But then again what do I know Im just a dumb truck driver I guess. still a rookie.,

 

Very true. Too many variables to take into account when getting a lease at any company. Could end up in the poor house. I says no thanks to that..

 

My wife and I are starting on 11-7
Any tricks we should know?

 

i will never saytransam is never at fault. They have there problems like any large carrier
I have found a way to look past those problems and yet make a living
for the experienced driver he should as well even if it means moving on before
the system buries him
We are all responsible for ourselvesbut none of us can do any better then what dispatch gives us to work with

 

its transcam thats all they do is cheat drivers out of money and never get thet trk paid off they want to dang much money for them trks!!
