It's 5 day week and we both do 500+ miles a shift. Hauling pharmaceuticals refer unit. Mostly Kentucky/Ohio to he west or Pacific northwest. Every load is live however I get paid detention till they are finished. Usually take about 2 hours for the load and unload. I get paid all miles so even the miles my teammate drives I get paid on. That means 2000 is the same as 4000 miles.

I team drive.

So I'm 9 months into my first year. Also 9 months straight on the road haven't taken any home time. I wanted to get my 10 month contract out the way. I'm 100% perfect pick up and deliver time. No accidents no dot violations. I'm taking home about 1k each week doing avg 4k miles constantly. Personally I think I'm doing as good as expected of a rookie driver. I want to do better how should I go about it? I bug my dm for more loads always letting him know I'm early and checking to see if I can grab extra loads especially Fridays so I don't have to take any chances of sitting on weekends. So my question is how to improve and take the next step and progress?

Steve come over to pegasus. No complaints here other than my co driver takes more home time than I think is necessary. If you can do 6 months out at a time. Your welcome on my truck. I'm making bank.

Q yep ur best bet finish 10 months at the very least

I am on 8th month of it and really times flown by. I did transfer to Gardners May 1st.

But seeing how dysfunctional and behind the times, they are here, I might just switch back to teams lol @ least its more miles than have seen here in 4 weeks !!

Just suck it up n move forward Dont know if your 8 months exp is with crst or not.....BUT if it is you only need 2 more months to fulfill your contract

I agree Gtown folks make me look like a superstar lol

The good news about CRST is that they have subdivisions. You may start as team and decide to go solo if you want. There training is good. Plenty of miles if you work hard they reward you. I'm no fan boy however I'm on pace for 70k+ my first year with a cdl and it's been smooth sailing so far.

200 pack of latex gloves and 10pk of N95 mask from Ace hardware. Found a honey hole in Missouri last month.

I had a talk with my co prior to him getting on the truck. Even though he had more experience than me. I told him what I expected and how I wanted him to run. See I had the best trainer mel aka big country. I do everything he trained me to do exactly. No issues and sort of trained my co who was very thankful because he learned new things. If you're co isn't very good you have to help get them up to speed.

Because its pharma loads they need to be tip top shape . The day cab's are mostly doing trailer moves in ky.

Pegasus is a subdivision of CRST. They do solo and team. I'm running team with my co driver from CRST. It's pharma loads mostly.
