    For a while when we were on paper logs we were told logs had to be in by the end of the week for us to be paid . We only Transflo'ed BOLs and trip sheets .
    Almost all our drivers get home weekends or on Wednesday or Thursday if doing weekend runs .
     
    Ghost Ryder Thanks this.

    Thanks for the info, driver. I haven't touched a logbook or a trip pack in YEARS, so my memory is fading.

    I'm a company driver and drive about 88,000 miles a year and I make about 70k a year!! Home everyday!! So you can't judge people pay by the miles they drive.. Just because your making chump chains by the mile doesn't mean everyone else does!!

    You're obviously not doing OTR. Most new driver's are looking at OTR pay. You're in Linehaul, right?

    I think those are the chains you bought from the guy selling them out of the back of his car at the truck stop, then first time you try them in a chain up area find out the clasps are broken.... :D
