    It sounds like the company has you on a. % deal, but there is a mileage productivity bonus, which is counter to what you should be doing .
    You aren't set up to fail , but you are set up to work and never truly get ahead.
    It's only 5 years, right? Stick it out, boom! You have a truck

    We will see. If I can average 1700 a week after expenses and before taxes I'll be quite happy

    Either way I'm getting 2800 before expenses so I shouldn't do too bad

    Good news fellas! I'm not even done with my 2nd run and I just got a load 1297+87 surcharge and it's only 892 miles with a 23 mile dead head. That is 1.51 per mile!

    While the expenses are a little more than usual, Id say go for it! Continue to work hard, and no doubt that itll be hard work. So many people afraid to step out of the boat due to stormy waters and its seems your doing it so far.......
     
    KingG239, Ssand Man, Joe.go and 2 others Thank this.

    You keep bragging that up, but apparently didn't do the research in the maxxforce. It's a piece of junk, you'd be better off with a def engine!

    @Joe.go Here's some advice - you can take it or leave it, just make sure you find the interpretation that works for you : WORK SMART, NOT HARD.

    Good luck to you, please keep us posted on your experience.
     
    Joe.go Thanks this.
