I didn't intend to make the pay sound like shit!
I only made 42k last year because we were VERY slow and I only averaged 3 work days per week. That is why I was here so much!
That has changed with 2 new pieces of business we are just starting up with. Lately, I've been working 5 days, one day off, then 5 more days and my last 5 paychecks have been over $900 take home (1 week). Another carrier is getting some of our loads temporarily while we try to recruit a driver for this truck.
This is the kind of opportunity that took me 5 years to find for myself after moving here. Jobs that pay REAL wages just aren't usually this easy to find in the river area. Any qualified truck driver considering a move to the river area should check this opportunity out asap because once we fill it, it could be years before we have another opening
