    I was reading their website and it was talking about what drivers make in CPM.. then I noticed it said drivers with pets paid at a different CPM.. I'm sure its not more :)


    I take it that those of you that have a pet onboard pay for it by the mile ? and if this is so how much a mile are they deducting for 1 pet= small dog ? and what is the avg cost per week ?



    The other Company I'm looking at is a $500 deposit non-refundable and $10 per week..

    They charge you $0.01 per mile that you get back at the end of every month is you keep your mpg above 6.25

    I doubt running as a team you would ever run under 6.5 mpg even idling when you stop...I don't have a pet but I did run team and u will have plenty of light loads (Conway freight & truck parts) as well as dead head miles (longest was 700+ mi out of FL to pick up a NC load) in sure a few of our "pet Loving drivers will chime in on this soon :)
