That was me that came up to you at Wakarusa. I took no offense. I was in a hurry as well to get my drive away trip started as well. I just wanted to let you know in person that enjoy your content and appreciate the effort you put in to make it.
HEY! I'm from hannibal. My ram blew up though so I'm in a semi for a company. I miss rv transport but I don't miss my dispatcher or Horizon staff members.
I thought you were both going to be hauling for Horizon. I started back up with Drive away for Star Fleet after 3 months off. I have a Class A CDL this time. I started this year with some non CDL deliveries and was a littel dissapointed that the rates were cut. Last year I was delivering Class A gas units for $1.22 per mile and this year it's .98 cents per mile. I asked my dispatcher if I could do some CDL runs and have done two so far. Much better pay, making the time spent actually a little profitable. I felt I was only breaking even doing the non CDL gas unit deliveries. Our load board is full at the moment. There are only a few CDL runs. My priority is to get a CDL delivery, second is to get at least a Class B or C diesel unit delivery, which pay more than Class A gas units. I'll only settle for a Class a Gas unit if it's a hot load and it's at least a 1,000 mile run. Favors for the Dispatcher do carry some weight in getting a good load so I'll move some hot loads to get to the good CDL runs.
Hey brother, sometimes rants are needed. We both know it’s healthier to get it out, than to keep it bottled up. Keep up what you’re doing, you are why I leased on with Horizon 20 months ago and haven’t looked back. Finally bumped up to a DRW, got my apportioned plates and have been killing it. You passed on and continue to pass on nothing but useful knowledge and experiences. You do it with humility and that says alot about you as a Marine, a man, and as a professional. Keep it up Casey. Still hope to cross paths someday and sit and shoot the breeze.
@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 it happens. I’m sure you remember being a Private, walking up to one of your NCO’s, seeing the look on his face and thinking “yah, I’ll just address this later”.
Chaos......I don't do chaos. Sorry you had a bad week. Seems like when you were running the F-450 things were smoother. Maybe not. You are correct about who should be working the offices. It's like a first year med student doing open heart surgery. Chin up, this week will be better. Stay safe.
Your videos are inspiring me to get into single pull or Multi Haul. I keep looking at trucks but right now, I don't see how numbers justify getting a truck. Single pull would have to be paying $2.00 dollars per mile consistently and multi haul would have to be paying $3.00 dollars per mile consistently for me to justify buying a tuck and a trailer. Things are picking up, I saw a bunch of Indiana Transport Single haul and Drive away drivers as well as a couple multi haul driver driving west on I-80 on my way back to Kansas City.
Wish I would have known you were coming to my home. I live in Charlotte would have loved to have had a lunch supper or snack with ya. Next time you come let me know.
@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 you musta been very lucky, I put almost 200k miles between two trucks trying like hell. Also, I stayed running through horizon while they were telling everyone there was no loads for single pull. Most I sat was 3 days at a time and that was rare.
Also with fuel being almost 6$ per gallon a majority of the year and units never paying more than 2.10 pm no one woulda made 70k after expenses in 2022.
I dont blame you for not wanting to run on east coast lived here my whole life. Lost count how many times ive almost been in accidents because of bad drivers that are in a hurry.
It's just how it is the driving I am from Oregon only pass on the left. But here on the east coast, Florida we pass using any lane and police don't care they do the same.
Where did you get all your info about the American rules, I live in Canada and things work differently up here. I totally related to your very polite rant. All the best and stay safe
synergy's office knows what they are doing, yes. but they really fuck you by forcing you to take hot loads that aren't paying out well. they pretty much killed my business because I couldn't get the high paying loads I needed as a fledgling business owner. Not to mention that if you have any issues and you want to talk to them about it " calmly and collectively". They act like you are mistreating them and don want to talk to you. Might try again someday definitely not with synergy.
I just went through there orientation. I was not impressed with how it was set for tow away. Nothing about multi haul or how we run. Was a waste of time. Also somehow they couldnt keep paperwork in order or forcing me to insure my paid off trailer for no reason
Not excited that they dont have work and i did 1 trip with them. On that trip i lost a week due to i80 shut down and had to fight a little to get reloads that made sense
@@rvmafia2938 right now loads suck for everyone. It seems like most peoples orientation needs a lot of work. That’s why I started my channel, too help inform people who didn’t get what they needed from orientation like me. On your first topic, I’m not positive but pretty sure you have to insure the trailer for commercial use regardless of it being paid off
@@caseyharris82 first time i had to insure my trailer. It only covers damage if in a wreck. All liability is covered by truck. Been in the business 12yrs now and first company to make me insure a trailer. I know loads are slow but i shouldnt have been told they are busy. I watch your channel regularly partly why i choose this company actually. Thinking tow away is better to be in for work load right now by how the boards look. I am in a w900 but have a pickup to that i think i need to fix to keep steady. Like the ability to do all line of hauling with them. Also plan to put a tow bar on my vw tdi do some driveaways which i have never done yet. I see the good for sure. Keep up the good videos. Also enjoy your videos and honest opinions.

Horizon died once Ivanna moved on. Best dispatcher ever.

One of my biggest problems with Horizon was no communication, no help with issues

I just made the transition into flatbed from tow-away. Picking up my trailer this coming week.
Good luck. There’s 6 of us flat bed waiting for a load right now
@@fairwindsfollowingseas7909 Thanks for taking the time the other day to answer my flatbed questions. Much appreciated.

Just trying to help everyone I can. Even if I am a little “gruff” sometimes 🤣

The whole industry tanked right as I left a year ago though. It’s just slowly coming back around
Hang in there bro. Thank you for the great content.
Was nice to meet you at the Horizon lounge the other day I was the guy that was in the f350 .

For the year of 2022 i made 129k with expenses being 111k. I'm not sure how people who don't have passive income can make it doing single pulls.
Sounds like you did something wrong. My two years in single pull I made around $70k after expenses

When I got hired onto Foremost, I thought it was a pretty easy process. Felt streamlined.
That’s good to know. I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone about foremost. Let’s hope your experience was normal procedure 🤞
Crazy crap driving???? Says the 2c'er...🤣🤣🤣🤣JK
You’re not wrong 🤣🤣
dispatch sucks thats why i quit driving
