    It makes sense, because except for the "being indoors" part the docks are set up like about half of the US mail distribution centers I've delivered to.

    Wow only $800 a week for OTR with your experience? We might want to rethink going OTR again if this is tge case. My hubby works for Donmoyer and actually complains when he makes only $800. He works M-F with weekends off. He usually makes $1100 a week. No cameras, and I guess they aren't that bad after all. I have to say I'm shocked. Cameras are an instant no go for us too. I go with him OTR. I see all these people who say they only record during events. That is so untrue. He quit Swift before they got the cameras. I guess we'll stick with where he is.

    Well, I started with no experience. It's closer to $840 a week, that's splitting hairs though. Compared to my previous job as an ambulance dispatcher where I made $450 a week, it is a giant difference. Still, that's part of the reason I want to find a different company; I know I could make a bit more than I'm making now. It isn't like they're stiffing me on miles or that I'm afraid to run them.

    Good luck. Seems to be one of the best out there. If they don't take you right now, they probably will after a refresher.
