I've been with the Swift Family Dollar/Dollar Tree Dedicated run for almost a year. Either way I will be completing my year within a few months. I thoroughly enjoy the extremes of this job, physical activity, backing challenges, weather challenges to work in. I have zero accidents on my record since i have been here and i am meticulous in details and professionalism which have been recognized and noted by the company and the contractor.
However, this being my first year in trucking i have no idea what my next job would best assist in my goals. My next objective is to switch to OTR and do this for a solid 2-3yrs.
Right now im earning around $800-$1100 a week.
I have 3 objectives im looking to achieve listed in priority first.
- bring my wife along with me. (As a passenger she is not a cdl holder)
- better income
- get back to Utah for wife's family events to drop her off occasionally
(Children are not a factor)
(Family for me is not a factor)
(Home base is not a major factor)
Any ideas, suggestions, companies i might direct my attention to are sincerely appreciated. If anyone is with Swifts OTR, and has experienced their pay i would be interested in knowing that if your willing.
