    My husband is currently working for Werner and is thinking of going to work for Quality Driveaway after sitting for the 5th time for over 36 hours waiting for a load. What is the current scope on this company. He would start driving out of Garland.

    Please respond I need to know before we spend money on a hitch. Thanks

    You need to define the situation. I would first assume he is a driver. Then you speak of purchasing a hitch which seems to point to him owning the truck.

    He will drive the new truck and tow behind his jeep. It has to be better than Werner but he doesn't want to get in another mess like them again.

    How much does that gig pay? He'll only be making money one way and paying for fuel on the return trip.

    Will he get a 1099 at the end of the year?

    You are an independent contractor.

    You pay for the fuel on the vehicle you deliver.

    You pay for the return trip.

    out of garland is .44/mi. laredo is .43/mi. the "backhauls" and trucks from goshen, in the driver pays the fuel. The best way to make $ is to team up with 1 or 2 other drivers and split the gas expense and drive time in your personal vehicle. By the way, your downtime is spent in your car. If you try and take your off time in a motel you will limit the miles you get and put yourself in the poorhouse.

    Quality will also lie about available runs and not let any better runs out until the less desirable loads have been accepted . The will also lie about runs that are available to go out on a Friday or Saturday . A lot of drivers end up spending the weekend there needlessly .

    Never had that problem with them.

    Just before I left them, the freight got really slow and there was a list. No reason to be sitting up there waiting.,
