    Thanks Black Lion!!! So on avrage you haul for $1.40 a mile? Truck payments are some where between $500 - $600 guessing on milage and year.. So my other pressing question would be what is a avrage Insurance Payment per month on truck (I know this differs per driver, but just a rought avrage), Are there Maint Escrow Fees dudcted, Do you have to Pay for any equipment (Comm system, Load Securment devices)? Any other fees out side taxes and fule that I might not of stated? Thanks!!

    I don't know the answer to percentage who finish. If you have hazmat you get $1.00 per mile loaded and $.90 per mile empty plus fsc on all miles which this week is $.40.

    I came back from time off last week on Tuesday and did 1897 miles but I laid over a day for $350 also due to a customer not telling us they cancelled the load I was supposed to pick up. This week I will have a little over 2900 miles.

    Thanks BK2 !! I am trying to figure out what I have done, after a boaring night at home last week and nothing better to do than read 1/2 of your threads about ACT I became excited that there seems to be a good LP program. I gave notice to my employeer that loved me so much I have had 3 raises in the last year alone and am also resigning from my part time EMS and Fire job (15 years) and applyed to ACT (Oriantation 6th of August) to chase the American Dream (excited but scared).. I now have 1000 questions as I try to figure out what did I get my-self into and hope I dont brake the bank in my quest.. I know it will not all be roses but think I can prosper if I have 1/2 the luck you have had..

    Well had an appt for Sunday morning but they never got me in til Sunday afternoon and still had it all tore apart when I needed to be leaving to make it to Bolingbrook,Il on time and dispatch said they had nobody to cover it. Appt in Bolingbrook,Il had to be rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Good thing is the a/c works awesome now which is a first.
