[QUOTE="pickup, post: 522535"] ok fair enough, I thought it was implied that he wanted to drive a ups vehicle. He couldn't even get a job with hunt right now . He doesn't have a cdl . He would most likely have to go to truck driving school (5 grand , unless he got an uncle who has a truck) then he still needs 3 months experience before they would even hire him as an otr driver but guess what? they don't have loads that go over 250 miles from pickup to drop off so he will basically get 1250 fifty miles a week times a whopping 43 cents ( alot less actually since he is not a driver with years of experience) but I stay with that number. 43 cents x 1250 is about 510 bucks a week . He will spend the weekends at truckstops with no freight available until monday. Wanna try schneider, go to their truck driving school , tuition is free unless you quit within a year or if they fire you two seconds after you sign the binding contract that has you on the hook for 3,500 dollars. It seems schneider rams their driving schools with students and washes out many on purpose and then gets a judgement against them for the money.
