Where to go?

if you cant find a job in trucking there ... and you are near a major airport, try calling some limousine companies. i have done that a few times and made good money doing it ... just a thought ...

 

I currently drive for Arrow and I am very happy here. I basically run all the miles I want and on average I get about 3K a week. Occassionaly I will have a 2400 week but I also get 3400 weeks so it averages out. If you are interested give me a shout. As I said in all my posts, your just a number to them but if you want miles and to run Arrow will run you. I run 100% legal for that average as well, sleep 8 hours every day, and have a day off here and there on the road. Arrow does pay detention, and you get $50 a day for layovers and breakdown. If your at a terminal for PM or breakdown you stay in a 1 bedroom HoJo's extended stay with full kitchen as well. I highly recommend Arrow! Oh, and tarp pay is $30 and it takes about 2 hours to tarp and an hour to untarp, so thats $10 an hour on average for tarping. It sucks in winter and wind but other than that its tolerable.

 

All I can tell you is that no matter where you start its going to be tough. No trucking copany is there to help you they are there to train you and to use you to save money. So get what you need from them and move to the company you really want to work for. Its all about the money nomatter if your behind the wheel or behind the desk. In an indusry with millions of people in it you are still alone.
