@joshreyburn988 I hope it helps! Would love to say "Carrier XYZ" is the best but what works for me may not work for all. It's truly whatever you make it out here!
Absolutely! I have a big change coming and *fingers crossed* a brand new trailer to replace the single axle I'm pulling now, so I'm planning a video once I have the new trailer. But if there's anything specific you want to know right now ask away!
Very much everything I considered. Only thing I would add is, how do they pay. Direct deposit, EFS, Comdata etc. I chose Indiana Transport because they use Comdata. It cost me 1$ to transfer my funds from Comdata to my bank. I find this very reasonable compared to EFS at 3.5% per transfer. With all of the expenses out here, giving up 3.5%, which could be as much as 5k a year just to get paid.... nope, if a company uses EFS I will not pull for them. With all the ways you can pay a driver these days, I do not think the company is looking out for their drivers if they are using this option.
Right now, EFS charges me $1.75 to transfer to my bank and $1.00 for fuel transactions. It used to be a $1.00 for both but guess they weren't getting enough lol. I'll be back on Comdata soon though with the ways things are shaping up
@@CrossbuckRVTransport interesting. A company i almost signed up with told me it was 3.5%. Makes me wonder if its company specific now. Thanks for the response.
@@RamTruckTrucking it might be. After all my years in and out of the industry at 5 different carriers, they all certainly have little differences. Even with EFS, I've noticed my carrier has different fuel prices than my old (smaller) carrier Classic Transport.
Thank you for doing this video for us.

Great informational video Connor! Thx
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the info! Can you talk about single axle vs tandem axle truck and trailer?
