    Even if you take a load everyday that takes 6 hours to unload so you get paid 4 hours of detention at $67 a hour?

    280 a day for a o/o isnt any money....different strokes for different folks...but if I took a 95cpm job my wife and kids would kill me...at 95cpm after fuel you might bring home 1200 to 1500 a week? Are you pulling dry van?

    Yes 18 wheelers do haul containers. I do 1 run 60 miles out in the morning and then 2-3 shorter runs.

    in my work that's far!

    I get 70%. Some pay $54 hr and others pay zone pay and 1.4 a mile after 40 miles. Some places are a joke to haul for.
