    Oh don't worry about it Uturngirl. CA day cab company drivers are really clueless to what the OTR rest of the country does. We all know how much they think they are It and everyone should follow there rules in rest of the country. One reason many drivers don't travel there for it's not worth it too them.

    Thank you we will keep our older truck and stay out of CA. Too many people trying to make a buck off the back of honest truck drivers.

    You said .24 per mile for a Team. It is .48 split that is how it equal.24 But they get all miles.swift does start solos in mid to high 30s everything has to be looked at in the correct context. Also the less per mile based on length of haul is for lease/owner ops. The only adjustment for company is when crossing Mississippi river.

    Let’s let swift move on. It’s a moot point.
    Back when I started, it was crap pay and they pushed students through like cattle. I haven’t bothered to look at how much Knight is paying Swift drivers these days, so I’m not an authority nor do I care
     
    UturnGirl Thanks this.

    Just reaponding to her reply didn't mean to hijack anything. Just saying everything has to be looked at in the proper context with all of the facts.

    Facts as we know them now: nobody cares anymore. Move along! Nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
