    Heyl starts 54-56cpm they list a whole slew of additional available bonuses but idk, I'd rather have a no non sense approach when it comes to my money.

    Cypress absolutely has some nightmare reviews but a company driver position is essentially walk away, right?

    Look at the running lanes.....in trucking, that's the more accurate indicator of driver pay. All of the companies above have really good running lanes, Cypress probably has the weakest running lanes out of all, but perhaps the accessory pay may make up for it.

    I was told Cypress just runs Southeast and sometimes Texas.

    Dang, I thought they did som Midwest too, their lanes are shorter than I thought...though a run to Texas out of Jacksonville would be nice mileage.

    Cpm means little without the miles.

    I enjoyed my years with Leonard's Express. I live in Central Florida.

    I have a very detailed thread on here about my time with Leonard's Express.

    Xls, that detailed thread helped, after I found it and spent a couple hours reading it...

    I now know to avoid any situation where someone owns the truck and someone else runs the truck.

    Driver facing Cam can suck an egg, especially for that rate.

    I'm a local driver now, labor in the South Florida sun pays the same $27/HR as driving a medium duty flatbed with a gooseneck or even operating a skid steer or excavator. Did I mention sleeping in my own bed and my dog doesn't have to live in a cage (sleeper) with me?

    Idk, my buddy being over the road has been really dragging me into otr mood but is there really no money in it?
