This morning, over the phone, I was offered work as a driver of expedited frate. I have read through this forum to get some idea of what I would be getting into, and whether the offer meets the terms other drivers are getting. So far, the offer sounds fair. I was told that the company is called Cannon with offices in Mt. Clemens, MI. So far I find no reference to them on this website. Does anyone know anything about them?
I am CDL "A" and was driving for Swift until they tried to kill me.
This position will involve driving a 24' truck with sleeper. One of my concerns is that if and when I want to drive articulated again, that my OTR driving "B" will not count as "years of experience" for purposes of insurance and rate of next pay. I would be glad to drive TT, but I dont own my own truck and the man who offered me work has no articulated units.
But he has kindly granted me a few days to think about this. I found this forum and hope that some of its members will have advise and comments for me.
Thanks,
Ed
