    Does this company pay by the mile or load percentage? On their website, it says their drivers averaged .42 CPM IN 2009.

    The major lanes are midwest to central atlantic/northeast, midwest to pac nw, and the northeast regional / midwest regional. When I was working there I did everything but the northeast regional. Made it to TX and OK a couple of times, colorado some, and down to SC & NC a few times.
    Now I run inside a 150 sq mile box that covers western north dakota. Oilfield is paying the bills these days

    Well, I guess I should clarify, after the PM I got...
    I'm not unhappy with the lanes I run, it just seems like sometimes I get the loads that are needing a driver that will run his ### off to make delivery time, etc. heck I'm making good cash, got a nice truck, usually get reg home time.
    Except this one, I'm so used to running, this one has time and it feels like I'm doing nothing but fart around. Also, it's hot, and sitting around during the day I can't catch a breeze...may have to sacrifice some idle bonus.

    Typical with Mid-west loads to the East Coast, don't know how many times I had to do the Dakota City to South Plainfield, NJ run basically with only 21 hours to get there..... Also with Dakota City to Abingdon, those were some long nights man...
