    They used to be owned by the owner of the Pete dealer in Boise. They do a lot of So.Ca. turns. (Via Nv.Ca etc.) Not sure how far east they run. Mostly solo operation.

    Is Lange tough to get onto in the NW? I cringed when I heard the payscale for Motor West and that's for experience?

    Any company paying a per diem by the mile is cheating the driver. Call your IRS AGENT! They told me it is $59 a day and if a company is paying you a mileage per diem it is spose to be on your W2 when you get it at the end of the year with total they paid you, and the balance you claim off your income tax. At eight cents a mile you will not receive $59 a day.:biggrin_25510:

    The $59 a day is for everyday you are out over night.... If you go out on a half day over night you get half.
