@DjStaxx2 жыл бұрын
@@PylotGuy I worked for a company called Warrior Logistics out of Houston for 3 months. They say Monday-Friday weekends off, that was a lie. We’d run 6-12 days. The pay was inconsistent because you get caught at these FedEx hubs for 2,3,6,12,24 hrs so it slows down your miles. 5k + plus miles is ideal for a good paycheck but I only did that kind of mileage maybe 3-4 times. I left after 3 months. I work local in San Antonio now delivering organic milk to grocery stores. Mon-Friday. I’m content with it for now till I get more driving experience under my belt

Thats my main concern at the moment I just can't wrap my head around how that works efficiently with adequate sleep and hygiene etc.
@Driving2Thrive3 жыл бұрын
As far as team driving is concerned, it’s not that bad in my opinion. Most people are logical and Want to be clean like most other people. Unfortunately there are some of those people that were just raised a bit different where being a slob was acceptable. The hardest thing about team driving is your co-driver, so make sure you get along with them.

Question about Health Insurance; is your contractor paying you $0.02 less per mile and then you must pay for insurance on top of that? Or is the $0.02 cover the full cost on your side. Many contractors have insurance but bearly covers anything. I went with Obama Care which covered much more for me and my family.
