    Are you still working with Colonial Freight? Do you have an opinion about things there now? I'm considering a lease with them and I'd like to find out how Colonial is treating their lease drivers and if there is as much money in their lanes as they suggest on their website. Appreciate any thing you can add.

    The money they suggest (.91-.93cpm) on their website is a joke. Why would anyone work for slave wages?

    But they pay for plates, fuel discount, insurance, FSC, etc. When you add all that up is comes out to $1.40/mile. And if they can get someone 3,000/week they can make, what, $50k/year?

    Now of course in 3-months you are walking around looking like a zombie because you can't take time off.
