    thanks for the advice. i wont run anything over 5-7 days such as the 'regional' gigs so my picking seem a little slow and i would like to go with a company with a michigan terminal.

    you really need to know what weekly pay would be after your 90 days would average.

    Yea 14 hours a day X 5 = 70. Think they will send him home after 40? That would be M-W. it's like a buffet. You pay a flat rate you don't leave until your stuffed.

    Probably would be best to talk to one of their current drivers. There really is no way of knowing what each truck is earning. Plus most likely the senior drivers of the company are going to get the higher paying loads so it may take you a while to build up your position in the company. If they are offering $550 a week for training though that sounds like a pretty decent wage for a new driver and I would expect a lot more than that once you get paid your percentage.

    Good luck to you...

    yeah i have not seen any falcon flat beds in my area yet. the recruiter told me after speaking with her a little further that they do not bill for anything under 40k pounds. so if you get sent out for a 20k run they will bill it as a 40k load at 22% but i still do not know how they calcuate the charges.
