Well after all my research, they seem like a pretty solid company. Low paying, but solid. But I had to turn down the offer because I recently got hired on with the rail road as a conductor. So looks like my truck driving days are over, although I would still like to own a fleet with my brother...

Thank you for sharing that info. I'm really sorry that happened to you. I'm in a situation now where I'm owed money for work performed.

Tried that. I'm always directed to the same person who tells me to go to the orientation because she doesn't want to give me the wrong info and scare me away.

Thanks for all of your opinions. I'm going to go to their orientation and see what they have to offer. I want to know when pay will increase and the exact weekly minimum they pay. I'm hoping the .33 cpm is probationary. I remember something happening after 90 days but can't remember what. I...

Yeah I've been trying to wrap my head around the whole company driver, yet 1099 deal. And I gotta admit, the .33 all miles (all miles was emphasized) made my eyes squint a bit, until I was told to just come in and talk to the manager and see what they had to offer. If I'm hired I will go...

Hello all, Was wondering if there is any information on Taylor Made Express. Search resulted in one thread that was really old. Does anyone have any personal experience with this company? I filled out an application with them, and waiting to find out a good day to go in for an interview...

Thanks for responding everyone. After finding out I wouldn't be paid today, I decided to quit. I drove back to Chicago, cleaned the truck as best as could and let him know. My wife thinks he's been playing me. I called another driver who drives for the same fleet owner and he says though he's...

Hello all, The fleet owner I'm currently with now is an awesome guy, but the carrier he's leased to is not doing it for me. I'm sitting 3 to 5 days regularly, and was told it's hard for him to find me loads because of the carrier's safety rating. I'm also not getting paid like I'm supposed...

I have the feeling this is really going to change things. I got an email from sidecar (an uber type service) today saying how they are testing out a new delivery service on their app. It will be a courier type deal, delivering all kinds of things from food to furniture--this is on top of...

Thank you all so much!

Hello all, I was on the fmcsa website and read that the rules for using the 34 hour reset has been suspended. Does this mean I no longer have to wait 168 before I can use the 34 hour reset again? Am I reading this correctly? Here's the link: Summary of Hours of Service Regulations |...

Well the load was cancelled. I ended up getting a load with fewer miles that paid well. I'm kinda happy they cancelled, though. I was starting to get bad vibes. But if I ever get something like that again, at least I'll know how to go about charging for my labor. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for response everyone. I was told we would find out by noon if they accept our offer or not. I made a list of details for the fleet owner to find out for me, like well there be stairs, elevator, etc. All that he does know so far is that I'll be unloading alone. There will be no...

Hi there, It's a 24 foot straight truck. All the info that I have at the moment is I'll be unloading by myself, and someone will come to let me in. I don't know if stairs or elevator will be involved. I told the fleet owner we will need more info but for a starting point I said $500...

Yeah I asked the fleet owner to get more details. He's never been in this situation so he didn't know what I should charge, either. He said try $400 and I said well hell, let's try $500 and I'll go buy a dolly lol.

That's an option. Guess my $500 was way too high lol.

Well I told them $500. Guess I'll find out if they'll accept my offer later tonight or tomorrow. I just don't know if I went too high or low. I just know I really want this load lol.

Hi everyone. I was just asked by my fleet owner if I would be willing to take a load of boxed items (14*14*14, weight varies, a full truck load) from Pennsylvania to Texas and then unload by hand. He then asked me how much do I want to charge them to unload. Is there any method to use to...

Scary situation.

Thanks for that info!
