I've drove straight trucks back in 2010-2012 and really enjoyed it but due to personal family issues I'd left trucking and got into the real estate buzz.Now after 6 years i'm thinking about hitting the road again. Stupid me I'd didn't keep up my CDL so I have a reg driver's licence and i'm okay...

It's either become a trucker or stick to a 9 to 5 job,not trying to be a jerk it's just how it is,your out 2-3 weeks then come home for a few days. I have seen this same question tons of times before on other forums and yet people keep asking this same thing.

Ready haven't heard anything good about US Express expedite side nor its a good idea cause they just started the expedite gig and don't think they build up enough business for expedite loads.

Who do you haul for?

make sure you have the money to eat on atleast 250.00 a week..for food and what else you need for that week. $250 A week on food?That's $1,000 bucks a month,lol!There tons of Walmart's out there and spending $250 a week is nuts!Maybe $200 a month but no way $250 a week,I hope you meant to say...

First year in the buzz your not going make more than $35k maybe $40k if you run hard and you drive for a good company.It is possible to make over $40k a year as a driver but you gotta have the right stuff like hazmat dept of defense clearance that's the only way to make real good money.There...

That's why he quit.

My teammate used to drive for them,he says you gotta use a comcheck each time you get fuel.

Thanks,truck has a APU so that would be a big help also.

After speaking to the owner and getting more info,ill get .85 cpm + .35 cpm in fsc so its $1.20 per mile.Truck is getting $1.85 cpm because its a refer ST,owner earns .55 cpm.After looking into it and doing some math,I think its a far deal.Also this will be team operated.

Panther I spoke to the fleet owner tonight and got more details,I pretty much found my answer but opinions still welcome.

Looking at a fleet owner offering .80 cpm for teams and we pay fuel but keep 100% fsc.Does this sounds like a good deal or not?I always was told stick with the % pay but it seems more fleet owners are going by the mile pay now,some will say its the same but I don't know.What's your opinion on this?

After a Google search seems like he hauls stuff off of Uship dot com.I wouldn't waste my time if that's the case.

don't waste your time with uship!they are a rip off and once you book 12 loads you are block from cash on delivery!you would have to collect your payment threw uship and the customer has to give you a code to collect your payment!only was out of this is if your one of those matt butt kissers...

Thanks for the info but after all i'm going with panther at this time.

I'm considering relocating back north,but I may have found a teammate from Florida and after some hard thinking in last few days I guest if I stay here in Florida ill just get use to being out 5-6 weeks.Other guy I may team with doesn't mind staying out that long and seems there not much Panther...

I live in Florida and most owners I spoke to said if I want to be out only 3-4 weeks,I would have to relocated somewhere else.So how bad is it?I'm told because I live in Florida I will only get home every 5-6 weeks and I can't see my self being out more than 25 days,one driver told me today if I...

I will,I need to speak to her anyway first.

I'm just going go to Concentra medical ctr and get it done,this way ill know I have it and once I get to Panther all I have to do is take the drug test.Nearest one is about 180 miles from me but I rather do it now rather then get to OH and have to pay more $$$ to get back home.My main worries is...

I have no problem with taking a pee test but my concern is the medical part,I have high B.P and take meds for it but the doc that does my DOT card gives me a 1 year card,so every 12 months I get a new card.
