    Only prob with led lights is that when they get covered with snow they don't get hot enough to burn thru it. It's a major problem with the trailers up here

    So that $86k the first year is a pipe dream I’d take it? Lol

    Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled to start orientation on January 7th. And now I'm getting nervous With California traffic and all. Wondering if I'll make the projected amount of money. But anything will me better than the 53k I made this year. But I'm home after 8 everyday Merry Christmas Hope you get your wish!

    I’m setup for the 7th also...I’m currently making about $80k/yr, but unload tires. Pulled my back out and was out of work for two months...don’t want to revisit that and not feeling unloading anymore after that incident. Just hoping that I can make at least the $80k/yr I’m already making.

    Not a worry. I don't know which D.C. you'll be out of, but if you're only making $80k here you're doing something wrong. I've been off since the end of Oct. sick, and I'm at $85k. Just don't chase the $$$....do your job safely and as efficiently as you can and the money will come. And your days of touching freight are at an end.
