Learn how to put your money in investments and make it work for you.....Save that extra money and invest. I made$200 extra dollars today on top of what I'm making driving for my company.... Have to have multiple streams of income. What the rich folks don't tell you....

With what company?? If you are serious inbox me.

Considering ABF since they are pretty close by where I live. I forgot you were a dispatcher in this thread. Could you tell me what it's like and what the hours are a week?

Feel free to PM

Why do you want to be a dispatcher?

Tired of the road?

Not necessarily. I am tired of not being home daily though. I ran teams for awhile and made good money but me and my co-driver have separated and being a solo driver hasn't had the same opportunities and seems like more work for less money. I'm pretty much ready to just work 40 hours a week and go home. I'm not hurting for money really either so I feel like I'm making a better choice for the long run and my own sanity.

Driving is cool and I enjoyed seeing all the new places I've been but I would like to carve out my own space back at home and actually have time to enjoy my life.

You could deliver gasoline or do LTL if you wanna be home everyday

Think ima turn in this new truck and go get a used truck. I rather work 4 days a week and still be able to net 1000-1500 a week then having to run 6-7 days to do it

Any recommendations for a place with good used freightliner

Hey I know that new law applied for HOS & what not. I know it’s supposed to make things more convenient as far as drive time and when you do your drop & hooks it won’t count against you.


I’m still trying fully understand, but the drivers I work with approve of it. They just don’t like how their ELOGS aren’t keeping up.

I'm trying to grasp it myself. My Elog usually shows how much time I have before taking a break and drive time but just sitting around hasn't counted against my HOS. I ain't tripping
