      It looks like you make decent. Then you make half of what the load is showing. They purposely do not show drivers how much the fuel takes from the amount you believe you will make. Dispatch is spread WAY TOO THIN! And they are constantly in a meeting.

    Hi, I just came across your video. I Have a CDL, retired so not hurt for money. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am just looking to make some cash on the side. I applied to TM 2 months ago and was ready to come onboard, but decided to stop because I was scared that I would be stranded somewhere and not be able to get out of that city, town, etc. But I heard you say they will fly me to my next assignment, so I was stoked. Thank you so much for the update, I think I will reapply after seeing your video. God bless you!!

    @WestCoastTruckingCEO Рік тому +3

    Anyone with actual accurate information have knowledge on whether or not there's an industry standard or average that these carriers charge the customer to move 4 trucks at a time?
    Reason why I ask is because I'm with an OTR van carrier in CA and we just bought 20 trucks that need to be moved from SC to CA and I was given a rate from the dealer we purchased from which I thought was ridiculous. I'm doing my research to find out what's appropriate or the industry standard so I can make the best decision possible. If it really is as high as I'm being told I might just have to fly one of my drivers there to bring one truck back at a time with a power only shipment so we're not just bobtailing back
