Welcome to my daily trucking vlog!
I just finished CDL School in December 2023, then over the road (OTR) training in January 2024, picked up my 2020 Freightliner Cascadia in February and this is my "documentary" as I leave home (TN) and venture out into the world of big rig truckin!

Being that you just started not to long ago they might just be feeling you out. As time goes on and they see you like to run they should bump your miles up if not mention it to them and see if they listen.

Very true. Thanks for the insight man. Much appreciated

First and foremost dont ever calculate your pay by per hour it will only depress you and we have enough depression out here as it is. 2nd..you dont even have 6 months yet and i bet you they are feeling you out but on the other hand these 150,200 mile loads they give you, Hell no. Put your foot down and tell them you need miles those kind of runs are an insult and waste of your time. Communication with your FM goes a long ways "not always" but if hes a decent one talk to him tell him what you expect and need. And lastly......get your experience and go to a mega carrier KLLM,SWIFT,PRIME etc in this market right now they are the kings of freight as much as i hate to say it. Keep your eye on the prize, once u get that experience a whole other world will open up for you. At least 6 months if you cant last a year with them 6 months exp you can go to any mega.
