Quality Carriers
 
well, I gave them 4 months and I just cant make any money, so I quit. Whenever I complained, I would have a good week the next week, then right back to making nothing,
when I had the wreck in KC, it totaled the trailer, they wanted me to hang around a few days until they found one, (for nothing) I told them to stuff it and bob-tailed home, I got a lease with a local company here that I used to work for hauling sulfuric acid, I already have 3 short loads for tomorrow and will gross more in that one day than I did for my entire last week at Quality..

my last week at Quality, ran one load from Dalton Ga to Richmond Va, then from Richmond back to Bridgeport Al. that was all for the week, total pay after fuel and all their bullcrap deductions was $54.91 thats FIFTY FOUR DOLLARS AND NINETY ONE CENTS!!
the terminal owner actually called me and asked me why I left. :ranting::ranting:

i'm sure they thought they were doing you a favor with that whole $53. I also bet they have guys running good and making a whole lot more than that. I thought these guys were good? Isn't there a few guys working there from CAD?

I hope you took all their dang toilet paper. :mad:

Maybe this new job will work out. You sure deserve a break! :thumbsup:
Be safe... and don't make us too many pot holes spilling that sheit. :D

I drove a company truck for this guy for 3 years, he is honest and treats you right, he also wont cut his rate, pay it, or get someone else to haul it.
I only left because I thought I had a opportunity to get back in the a/c field but it fell through

QC has their favorites and that's it, have heard this same story many times before. Don't know what it takes to get in with "the in crowd" over there

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

That's probably more than Mattcat made this week :lol: :cool: :rofl: :smokin:

Matcat has not seen $50+ in weeks.

we are permitted for 48 but run mostly southeast, most trips are around 3-400 miles. Gooch is good, but you will only work in the
winter, they are hauling water out of Blue Ridge here now, but they have the senior company drivers doing that , most owner operators there have another gig to keep them busy during the summer
if you are looking to drive company, I would highly recommend Gooch, but it will be hard to get on unless you have lots of hazmat experience, propane hauling is serious business
