Been Gone
 
Okay I have been at my job for a couple of weeks now, and though it is a slow start, I think I might have found a home, we will see.

I have made better money here than at SWIFT, but that isn't saying much is it?

I will let you know more later!

I've been at the Laredo terminal since 11am on saturday - it's 7am monday now. Still no loads going north.

Not sure how much longer I can afford to work here. It's a good company, but if I can't get more than 1,500 miles in a week, somethings gotta change. My paycheck last week was for $118 (672 miles). In fact, in the past 4 weeks I haven't hit 2,000 miles. That's quite a drop from 3,500 miles average per week.

Malaki86, I am sorry to hear that you aren't doing well. 672 miles for a week isn't many miles. You can't make a living at that rate. Things normally slow down this time of year, but not normally that much. It is usually a little harder to get a decent paying load out of Laredo. I hope things get better soon. :sad:

I understand how it is in laredo getting a load, but sounds like you have more of an issues getting miles anywhere. BOL
