    Man, I woulda thought you had made it further. I was checking all the truckstops that I could see from 300..musta missed ya! I run the max on my hours and curfews generally... which is why I made it to 465... 1805 is when I got there... 30 min past sunset was 1809.. so I cut it close.. lol. I run alot different than most people do from what i've seen. Hard charger i am... but I make alot of money doing it that way too.

    I'd say I made it pretty far, I was almost 100 miles further west where I stopped. Exit numbers decrease as you go west.

    LOL... right, my bad. I was backwards... you got much further than I did. Yesterday was a long day and was fried by the time I typed that.

    Edit-- I reread what I posted before and I wasn't implying YOU don't or didn't run hard... that was a generalized statement on my style... hope you didn't take that the wrong way. I tend to have that foot in mouth syndrome kick in alot... lol.

    Any of us can answer that really. I spend anywhere between 3 weeks and 8 weeks out.. and I tend to get through home between once and 5 to 6 times in that time period generally. The pay is great in my opinion... at L99 (trainee) its like .38, L1=.40 L2=.42 L3=.46 and goes up from there.

    Just a quick adjust there, L0 is .40 L1 is .42, L2 is .46, L3 is .48. I can't confirm any past that point

    Based on what Ron told us in orientation, L4 is .50. Also, talking with some guys that have been there 10+ years they can make salary plus 10% on loads. Projects, from the way I understand, pay salary no matter what Level you are.

    I know this is all second-hand info, but the sources were at least 2 guys except for what Ron stated.
