Profile For Jay K.

I got a preventable accident on my record 2 months ago while I was on my mentors truck...just wantd to know how long it would take to come off my record...it was minor...tire n the road did some damage to the truck we were driving...thanx

I currently drive team n the flatbed division for swift..been doin this for three months...its ok...but I don't get home much..I was gonna do it for a yr....to get my experiece....but after talkn to other drivers I learned swift has dedicated routes for walmart out of casa grande arizona right next to tucson my home...I heard they start at .38 a mile and extra pay for each stop...most importantly...home on the weekend. ..does anybody run these routes...can tell me about it...

I appreciate all the advice...sounds like more of a cut throat business than I anticipated...can u suggest some good companies to work? Or are they all about the same for a rookie ?

Theys exactly the things I'm interestd n hearing..I have money now..but I'm planning on workin for a company for a yr. Or two so I can learn the ropes...was just tryn to basically figure out if it was beneficial to b a owner operator... or should I save my money and drove for someone else.....got a prehire from stephens trucking out of texas....do u know anything about there outfit ?...also applied with swift...what's the word on them ?

I'm coming n2 it with a good portion of money to buy a truck and trailer...so my overhead will b road expenses not truck and trailer payments.....I am completely new to this.....that's why I was askn the questions that I did...the cost for used trucks is actually less than I had expected...

I'm starting class A cdl school n a couple weeks...my goal is to become a owner operator and own my truck out right within 3 yrs...I just havena couple questions?..first I'd like to know how much truck insurance costs per month ? I'd also like to know the pros and cons bn a owner driving for a company versus finding ur own loads on places like u ship .com ? And as a owner what would b the best kind of trailer to buy...I'm leaning toward a car hauler....but a enclosed box is cool to...where is the best money to b made ? Thank for any and all reply...there appreciated
