I started out at ground. Helped me get on my feet and gain doubles experience. Moved on to LTL for benefits.

I was a driver for a contractor. It’s really not a bad gig and I was up to 360 a day. I left for food service actually delivering to Wawa through Penske.

I found my contractor on indeed. I live in the Savannah,Ga area. I drive from Savannah to Charlotte to savannah (519 miles total). Or I drive Savannah to Orlando,Fl to Savannah (578 miles total).

@Jvoe_stew Do you have multiple stops or is that just one full load round-trip?

@@grovedwayne390 I start my shift with a load (53 ft) from Savannah to Charlotte. Then from Charlotte they usually have me a load or tell me to get an empty (53 ft) back to Savannah. And my day is done. 8 to 9 hr full trip. But every contractor is different.

The only hardship of getting on Ground is dealing with 1st Advantage. I drove for them for 3 years. Left to do foodgrade tanker and later oil fields. Now that the crude production dropped I'm going back to linehaul but local this time around. Will be doing 325 miles each way 5 days a week.

River Capital and SRC is the contractor I drive for in the Portland Oregon area, the terminal is in Troutdale Oregon. I do teams. We go to Mississippi and back ery week. And we are always offered extra local runs if we want them. I got the job through indeed. Easy money. I make Trucking and weather content on youtube. I just make videos when there's interesting. Just making fun of the experience.

Hey! I’ve created a tool for owner-operators and carriers to easily track expenses and manage fleet finances. I think it could be really useful for you! Would love to chat about working together. Keep up the awesome content!

FEDX is going to hell of theyre ridding themself of company drivers on the Express side. Many of those drivers have been on board for decades and now they have to work for a contractor with low pay and no benefits

@@m.simpson6843 some, not at all. Working for a contractor isn't working for FedEx. They'll each offer different compensation packages, even if they're based out of the same building.
