They are the former Commercial Carrier Corp? Famous for changing your engine on your lease/purchase truck over the weekend without telling you.

what the hell are you talking about? comcar is not actually a trucking company - it's the parent company of 5 trucking companies, several of which have terminals all over florida. I worked for CT Transportation for over 2 years. and I made a hell of a lot more than $90 a day. and runs from jax to ft myers in one day? 680 miles round trip? sure, OK.

I worked for Dewey Enterprises back then and we were hauling beer as a backhaul just to get us back to the Ft. Myers area so that we could load produce in Immokolee. We were doing it for $120 a load and Comcar stepped in and underbid it to $90. The Comcar guys were actually doing this with day cabs at first! Then when the company realized that you can't physically do a round a day they started to use trucks with sleepers. I had a friend that was doing it and he got burned out on it and switched back to hauling concrete powder in a pneumatic for them. He told me that it definitely wasn't worth it.

Wasn't me. I never worked for them. Scarey looking junk in the 80's.

That was told to me by one of their lease/purchase guys.
