Anymore kidding like this in here and it will be dealt with.

It wasn't a joke, it was a misunderstanding. I appreciate that it doesn't make a difference to those reading the thread, but the intention was not sinister. The post was not made in bad taste, but it was made with inaccuracy. I have not come back to the thread to correct the mistake, as I have moved on from the situation. No use in clarifying a job that no longer exists.

OH!! come on now!!.
we all know what needs to be done to make the money.
legal or hard? just do it safely and make what money you can.
i say..if 600 is made for that week?? hey!! stretch it!
next week might be better.
600 in my pocket minimum does the job.
anyway..i am looking to run for an owner op or a company that will take me.
will run 48 states except canada(can't go there,paying child support).
hometime?? am single.no worries.
also..looking to eventually get into my own truck with the help of whoever.
cell:615-445-6901.
3000-3600/week is fine for me.
luis.

If every company in the world has it as policy to let you go, I can't afford to be the only guy that doesn't.

I'd prefer a team, and I already have a few people in mind. The pay is higher than before, and the rules regarding MVR and experience are tightened:

2 years or more experience, clean MVR, has own cellphone, lives anywhere in Midwest, South or East Coast, other than New England states. Smoking ok, even in the truck. Criminal history should not be a problem, but is subject to approval.

Pay is 5% of gross per driver for all loads for 4 weeks, followed by 8% for another 4 weeks, and finally 10% OR MORE, depending on performance.




The old cliche of "you get what you pay for" comes to mind here.

And at 5% you continue to get 5% effort by the driver.

Where are you guys getting the 600/wk part?? Did you read the complete thread, it's more like 250 per week.

What's up Mr. M??? how's your driver doing?????

M Enterprises, are you hinting that the job will be available in july??
