There is not amount of money , someone can pay me to drive a truck , can compensate for all the sacrifice a driver has to do otr. No way ! I’m 100% independent O/O. I drive when I get my rate , I drive anywhere I want and anytime I choose to . This industry can be the best place to work and enjoy it , but trucker gave the power to companies and corporations. If you are in this industry and you don’t drive for yourself , then do something else . You will be happier .

Now your life is in a truck company hands. I love living life and spending time with my family.. being a truck driver take all that away from me it feels like im locked up.. I started remodeling homes for a living making good money and im also home every night with my kids. NO MORE TRUCKING FOR ME.. glad to have my cdl I get to run dirt loads myself and move equipment around without hiring a driver so cdl is go to have tho.

[@Jacob-wr7ch]

Don’t be fooled. You won’t make good money driving until you get years of experience under your belt and find a good company. If you think you can get your license and start making bank right away you’re in for some disappointment. Ask me how I know…

this is not a good company. I am a CDL driver I used to work for this company. I had an emergency and missed my flight back to pick up my truck at headquarters. They told me they would get me another flight. A few days they let me go for missing the flight even though I told them I had an emergency not a good company at all. I seen them let a few people go over my time with them stay away from them. It’s almost impossible to get home time with them.

So if you are living paycheck to paycheck you are either in great debt or you just don’t know how to handle money

[@in-tickdesign318]

I worked for them for 6 months. These are the facts: 1) You will live paycheck to paycheck due to lack freight for dry van. most I made a week $1,050. average $700. 2) they have internal and external cameras if want the bonus pay. P.s. They will micro manage your driving and safety department is very proactive in writing drivers up. 3) they have very good marketing, but it's just another shitty trucking company finding ways to not pay there drivers. Good luck out there drivers!
