    Has anyone ever heard of Austin Powder? They had a website called austinpowder. They are offering me .49 with a nice benifit package, go in Sun come home Fri afternoon. The only thing that I don't like about it is team driving. I never did like driving as a team! Not that I'm hard to get along with but I've just not done very much team driving and don't really like to be trying to get sleep when someone else is driving no matter how good a driver they are. Any ever heard of them or know anyone who has driven or drives for them? It sounds too good to be true to me but I know that there are a lot of people including drivers who say that's one of those really good companies to work for. All hollidays are off with pay but I don't understand how you can actually get a holliday off at home when you drive a truck! It just sounds too good to be true to me!

    Sounds like you'll splitting .49 generally works that way,not bad as you should get decent miles.

    Yea I'll get half that. 24.5 cpm just doesn't sound very good to me but I guess being paid for all the miles the truck makes will make that better. I don't know if I'm gona like team driving. Maybe if I get with a good driver and we get along. I'm not real nitpicky but you know how a lot of drivers can be. He said I'd make over $50,000 per year to start, go in Sun eve go home Fri afternoon. Sounds like a pretty good package. They are a company who has their own fleet. I'm gona try em if they'll hire me I guess!
