CWRV Delivery
I am thinking of signing up with CWRV delivering trailers. Any comments? Current contractors wanting to refer?

Well there are people making a living doing this, BUT it is a JOB that you really need to WORK at!
Working for CW, might have advantages of between location transfers, but I would not count on.
If the contract with CW is exclusive, no way! You would need to be 100% independent with a good load broker that could keep your dead head miles to a minimum!!
There are those that say you just are not getting paid for Dead Head miles, I say every dead head mile is money LOST, as it requires fuel, time and maintenance. You as a CDL driver need to log those miles, and time!!
Sit down and figure what it cost you to drive a loaded and a unloaded mile, then start subtracting from the dollar per mile you get paid.
Unless you have a true sleeper cab on your truck you will have motel cost. Meals are another.
