I am almost to my 1 year authority age and I feel discourage....I dont know why but I feel like this hill that I am fighting is somewhat gonna get harder somehow. Dat load board rate are getting worse and worse and I feel like giving up. Even asking for $2 a mile is already asking too much to some of these brokers. Its hard out here.
All the loads I see near me always sucks, to the point where It doesnt make sense booking. Does that mean I should just try out a dispatcher?
Trying to get into a union and came upon this position. Is this a good stepping stone trying to get into the U.A plumbers & Gas union 5 year program?
Thank you.
I have been doing otr Box truck for a couple of weeks now and hotel stays are eating my profits. I have done some research and I know of three that do sleepers for box trucks. I checked out schan GTT box truck roof sleepers, Box Truck Conversion Roof Top sleepers, and DC-Max with the extended added to the cab that pushes the box truck back on the frame.
I just want to know how everyones experience was with these sleepers and if their are any other out there that are worth mentioning.
The other thing that I wonder is that, these conversions or addons will cost me about 5k to 15k for these additions, So I was wondering myself if I should just trade in my box truck and get a semi truck. The other thins is that my box truck is paid off so I dont have to worry about truck payments which is a stress reliever also.
Just 5 hours away from my drop. I have to do my 34 hour reset. What screwed me up was coming from the west to the east and the time zone difference messed up my time calculations. Fml. Now o am gonna be a day late for my drop. How screwed am i?
