    ok guys and gals i graduate in two weeks and ive narrowed it down between two companies to work for. Builders transport and PGT trucking.pgt pays25% and builders pays .35cpm for students to start.both averge 2000-2500 miles per week and home most week ends. they both seem like good companys to work for,but im a little scared of the %pay system with the economy like it is.if it takes another big dip the fright pay will drop and you wont make muck money on the %pay scale. any advise?? anyone know anything about anyone of these companyies? all advise will be app.thanks

    I would rather have % pay than mileage. If the economy takes another crap your miles will also go down. It will probably average out in the end.

    I was leased on with PGT years ago. The company drivers I knew where happy for the most part.
