    Just day 1 but so far it's been as advertised.
    I've joined the Artur express team out of Missouri. Yes it's ARTUR the truckers company.
    So far they have your typical company policies and seem to have a very good team in the office.
    From what info online I can get seems maintenance department cause they deal with a rental company can be a headache but otherwise seems to be a nice company.
    Again it's my first day so don't have much info yet.
    But they automatic trucks with cameras, after 90 days if you not a screw up they let you cover the inside., 68 speed not bad.
    But again not much else I can state for now

    So day 3 dispatched and up to the house to gather my truck junk, as I stated so far so good.
    And now I know I general lease purchase is terrible, I'm currently a company driver,but there lp plan seems pretty nice, it be tempting but I have yet to be successful with that idea so will think long abt that one

    So first week kind of short obviously but so far so good. They seem to have a pretty nice size customer base. Currently my biggest issue is they use that ditat app and well finally today it seems to catch itself up so will see.

    Yeah so I started professional tier which is .57 everyone starts there. Takes like a full quarter, 3 months to earn enough for top tier. Like .60 cpm. I'm not really here to max that out if it happens it happens
     
    Loudstacks Thanks this.

    They seem to have a sliding pay scale for shorter runs as well, they break it down as you go I see. Not sure how that works but I'm asking tomorrow
     
    Loudstacks Thanks this.

    Yes I know about that, and I'm not here for that. On there completed trip page it makes it look like there might be a sliding scale but I guess it's a tax thing, end of the day I'll get .57 for all miles
