    3,000 mile mileage run? Yeah, that's gonna pay a mint.

    I think he meant per driver.

    I think this is a solo mileage run. No partner.

    Really? I didn’t know you can make that much on solo mileage run.

    3,000 miles per week x 96 CPM is ~$2900.

    Just gotta come up with clock time, which isn't all that hard.

    More miles than I want to run, but the money is definitely there.

    At $63 something an hour for all time not driving it adds up quickly.

    At ABF you’ll have one in your face as well but sometime there is tape over the lenses facing in and sometime there isn’t.

    I will say this at ABF it’s been pretty busy for me. The minute my break is up they are calling on the phone at least for me. Horrific life style aside at ABF extra board, the place has a couple perks. They have cameras in the truck like pretty much everyone sooner or later, but the company realizes ahh trucking things are what they are, they aren't over zealous about it like other places are so that's one nice thing about them.

    I hate that 10 hour bullcrap. I’m working 9-9 Monday-Friday since I’m the only one willing to do outbound with management lmao.

    I hate the rotating clocking in an out. I get pissy if all I get is 10 hours too
