3 Months in with Evans Delivery | Intermodal Owner Operator

[@ThisIsGABMuzik]

I just started pulling for Evans out of Jacksonville. Here after two hour’s detention it’s 100 an hour. I’m only two weeks in right now but I can say I know the rates are better than other places in town. Wishing you the best of luck bro.

[@donttruckhere]

What are you making weekly?

[@ThisIsGABMuzik]

@@donttruckhere my first two weeks were rough because I’ve never run the ports and had to learn. Third week I grossed over 3k and brought home a little over $2500 and I grossed a little over $2500 for the week of Thanksgiving. I have a day cab also. But I’m setting increases every week.

[@Brentaveous]

How long have you had your authority active ? I’m out of Hinesville, Ga between Jax and Savannah . Looking to become o/o in March

[@ThisIsGABMuzik]

@@treyveonmoses955 I’m not leaving Florida anytime soon so I have to do what I have to do. I’ve had some strong weeks and some not so strong due to different reasons. All in honestly right now I’m grading it at a C so far. I do see potential but again there’s some politics involved too. I may go do gas but Evans is providing me the ability to live same way I did as a company driver plus better home/work balance than fuel driver so I’m still up in the air. Where you located?

💯 looking forward to the next video

I'm an Evans corporate employee and I appreciate your honest feedback. Its very interesting to see our driver's perspectives. Been with Evans for nearly 8 years and I hope you can stick with us!

[@asgharh96]

@11hallki is any owner operator looking for a driver. It doesn't matter which company as long as I can hire me as an driver

[@TRUCKINGwithG]

Wait times at the Long Beach ports are torture 😵‍💫

[@relltv8231]

I really thinking about taking my truck off intermodal because it’s slow and has not been up in quite some time. Low pay for heavy loads is what I been seeing a lot of I’m at Dunavant. Good luck to everyone

[@youngsaretrucking2600]

Yea it’s definitely slow. I try to get loads closer to my house Lol 😂 work smarter not harder. If I can work a 5 day work week and I’m home daily. Not sure when freight is going to pick up but the py and apm has been crazy at times.

[@StevieJ242]

Great info I’ve been with Evans for about 3months also , freight has been ok just the rates to me are the problem but they keep me moving.

[@supermariosbro_O]

Anybody run work with roadone intermodal out of Atlanta? How about trx? What are your thoughts on these companies? Owner operators please.

[@rpggoodness2246]

Nice info. Thanks

[@Married2Freight]

You're welcome

[@samyrodriguez5036]

Looking to drive for them I gotta try it I worked for a company recently that what I got left over after expenses was 500 dollars a week with 3 runs each run took about 7 hours to complete so that was a really bad experience for me I went from a company driver making 900-1000 a week to being an owner op making 500 a week lol praying my luck turns around with Evans

[@Married2Freight]

Yeah, hopefully it will.

[@hondolane3559]

DON'T GET A SECOND TRUCK.......no,no.HUGE MISTAKE. the money never comes close to the one you drive.

[@daimu7971]

Do you teach how to work the ports ?

[@hondolane3559]

you worked for AIS? you know Jessi? LOL. we're the company with teal Peterbilts. we also repair owner-op trucks.

[@WillieWhale]

I live in portsmouth and been looking at evans and wondering about the company side because I'm in the process of looking to buy a truck. Do they have a year of truck you need? Looking at buying a 2003 Columbia with 12.7 Detroit. Thanks for the video.

[@Married2Freight]

I don't think the year matters but the truck has to be able to use electronic logs.

[@donttruckhere]

dont buy a truck please stay company driver. Fall in line worker

[@hondolane3559]

we figure an average truck gets 5 miles to a gallon. when we bid on a job we figure that into the bid. when we had contractors they got all 100% of the fuel money.

[@khalilspencer3190]

Wassup bro, I live in Newport News & I’m looking to become a local driver. Is Evan Mills hiring as of 2024 for owner ops ?

[@Married2Freight]

I don't think they're hiring yet since freighthas slowed down. You should try calling the office and ask when they will start. Same thing happened with me last year

[@lop243]

YOU SHOULD BUY YOUR USED TRUCKS FROM ME. NO TRUCK WILL EVER COST YOU MORE THAN $30,000! QUALITY PRE EMISSION TRUCKS!

[@asgharh96]

Hey brother. I just moved in maryland baltimore area. Do you know anyone here looking for an experienced driver. I have 4 years of experience at the new jersey port. It's very hard to find an position here in maryland who pays cash or on 1099

[@Married2Freight]

I wish I could say I did but no. I don't know any companies in that area

[@polockdan1]

👍✌

[@reidjulien2669]

So you are home every night

[@Married2Freight]

Right. I haven't done an overnight stay
