    Crestmia, I would say put your application in the worst that can happen is they say no. I don't see that happening tho. Good Luck!

    Youll make $600 a week minimum as long as youre available for dispatch. You go home, it goes by mileage. Anything over 5000 miles in a week is paid at 12cpm. Flatbed starts out at 36cpm for all miles. Plus we get a minimum of $50 for tarping, and $25 for any extra drops.

    Hey ORD,

    If you go to flatbed as a company solo, do they put you in the lightweights like reefer div? I wonder if it is worth the extra .05/mile.

    It fundamentally does have to do with oxygen. The air we breathe and therefore the air the CPAP machine pumps has oxygen. Sleep apnea is a reduced tital volume and prolonged interruption in the normal breathing process, therefore a reduction in oxygen levels in the blood. The other affect is reduce amount of REM sleep and that's why you feel as though you didn't sleep.

    Poobah....are you a Prime company, contact driver or other? If Prime how do you like working for them.
    When did you get your CDL?
    I'm 63 and starting school this month but drove before there was a CDL...Any feedback would be appreciated.
