Yes sir, trucking has changed tremendously. I started in early 2000’s and it was totally different. No elds, only paper logs, no damn gps you had to write down the directions turn for turn 😂😭and use the map to find the closest interstates when we got lost. I miss those days
I’m looking to switch over to tankers & ride my days out with a hood company. Im only 1 year of experience trucking as of now & companies require minimum 18 months. Most 2 years experience. So I have to wait it out a bit longer.
Hopefully a company out there gives you a shot. I’ve been driving trucks for 2 years, recently just got accepted to a local milk hauler who was looking for someone that has 2-3 years of experience. I took my chances and applied, the owner said he’d be happy to have his company show me the “tanker ropes”. Good luck with your search! & never be scared to put yourself out there 💪🏽
Hey i work for that company lol. I run 900 miles a day, 4000-5000 miles per week. Ag exempt is where the money is. You are wore the F out at the end of the week though
102,000lbs roughly some states can be more like 107k this is entire truck and trailer. I’m a location supervisor/driver for Dairy Farmers of America. Just make sure you have your overload permits lol
I have hauled produce loads that are more tippy than tanker... The front to rear surge is something to get used to... Mainly stopping is a little different, but you will get used to it...
They have 3 divisions... Midwest Dairy Transport Thats Milk... Midwest Direct Transport Thats freight... Absolute Transport That one I am not sure if I can say because of confidentiality agreements....
do they not pay o.t.with your company? the company im going to work for doesnt because it agricultural. I dont know if they arent allowed to or they claim it to avoid paying it. thats for hourly but ill be doing otr like i posted earlier.
The money depends on who you are working for and what runs they have you on..... I made excellent money... I have a video called Milk Money that shows my checks.... 2k to 3k in 5 to 8 days out...
@@mikesan420 I was making $2,600 gross in 6 to 7 days on the road. But I was on a dedicated drop and hook run... I believe that the regular runs pay around $2,000 in 6 days... You gotta work for it though.. I was doing around 4,700 miles in 6 to 7 days... Agriculture Exempt..
@@truckertrashdustin thank you for the reply Sir. I’m a retiree and would like to work only part time. My goal would be to bring in a net income of about $1500. In your opinion, how many hours of work would this require after all expenses are thrown into the equation? Is that feasible? I will own my own brand new truck outright
