    Has he considered teaching? I'd bet many truck schools would love to have him as a chief instructor.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    No, I do not think he ever considered that. Not sure he is that type of person but I will mention it. I will look around online to check out hiringsand pay scales. Thanks for helping.

    Thanks I am checking these out today.


    On a side note saw dad on Labor Day and he would not mind being out 2 weeks at a time. I mean he said if the pay went up 10% or more he said why not, I may be retiring in 5-8 years anyway lol

    Trimac Elite Fleet he can stay out as long as he wants.
    Easy cruising with Freymiller. Trucks set up right for driver comfort. They will let him stay out if he wants. Same with Holland Enterprises Inc.
    Check those companies websites for driver benefits. 100% driver no-touch freight.

    K&B Transportation has a guaranteed minimum weekly pay of something like $1400.00 or close to that. One of their drivers posted about that yesterday. Looks like $1365.00 is the guaranteed minimum pay per week, but you can make more.

    Found the thread and it's by @Bakari742 plus he has pay stubs posted.
    It's under "Discuss your favorite trucking company" thread and titled "K&B Transportation, Best OTR company"

    I realize that not everyone is cut out for instructing, including myself. I've had offers to be a trainer. So far I've turned them down.

    Agree! I'd take a long walk off a short pier with an anchor tied around my neck first.
     
    Riffman and Big Don Thank this.

    Oh I'm sure it takes a special kind of person to be a teacher. Unfortunately, way too many outfits push people into"teaching," that are not only not qualified, but don't even want to do it. You couldn't have a better recipe to guarantee drivers will not be well trained.
     
    Flashdrive7 Thanks this.

    What if I already sold my soul? In my defense though, she was really cute.
