yea its official, recruiter the told me the same thing.

That is low, I was getting .39 back in 2009!, and that was starting rate!

Too many factors involved to say that is a low figure.

Doesn't W/S still pay hub miles,

that would make a huge difference.

Now, if they pay HHG miles, that IS low pay....

How about 35 cpm in 1975?? The race is still on for the bottom.

But they run paper logs .

Run enough 4,000 mile weeks and you could make over $40,000 a year .

WOW! Lets see now, after I pay Uncle Sam $10,000 and after I spend $5000 for food and I not even going to figure what other "little expenses" that I will spend money on, I got $25000 for the year and that is around $500 per week WOW! I stay out 6 days to make this $500 and I am going not figure my ten hours breaks(I should, because I am still responsible for the truck and cargo) but the very minimum total hours would be 84 hours. All for $500 WOW! Now here is something that will make you cry, you have made $5.95per hr. WOW!
