Im glad I was able to see this. Im seriously considering Witte Bros, since Im out of the Saint Louis area. How is it there? How is the pay? Im hoping at least 1000 a week or it would be pointless. How is the hometime? Im hoping Im home every weekend. What areas mostly do you drive? How long was training? I already have a Class A CDL, but I have been out of a truck for 10 years, and would have to refresh. Witte said they can help me with all of that. Your response is greatly appreciated.
Figured I should give an update after my first month solo.
It's been an adventure. Full of highs and lows, as to be expected. I've made my share of rookie mistakes, but as long as I've been open, honest, and asked for helped - my fleet manager and everyone at Witte has been more than understanding and helpful.
I grossed $950 my first week and over $1000 every week since, this week coming in over $1100. The pay is as advertised, if not a little better. With Witte it's all about how hard you're willing to work and how smart. Manage your clock and your trip planning well, plus be willing to unload and break down your own freight - you'll make plenty of money.
I've only had one minor mechanical issue so far, my poor truck had a radiator leak and got backed into twice in the same night at a Nashville area Pilot. So - last week I had to have a loaner, but the shop made quick work of her and got me my 'Donna' back. (I named her after Donna Summers, because she will survive).
It's a pretty brief update - but I wanted the world to know it's going well and Witte is a great company to drive for.
