    As long as you operate under a company authority...u are just a company that pays a truck note...alot of ppl wont understand because they didn't do the research ive done and the things my eyes have seen...

    this is a reefer load...not tank not flat but just reefer load with no exaggeration...california to new York loads pays 8900 dollars plus fsc. ..even pulling a tank u wont get close to that...

    im not whining or crying. ..I just seen whats on other side...the actual business side of it...alot of ppl wont believe me or is going to claim I don't know what im talking about or the work is to hard..but I dont care...anything worth having is worth working for

    Hey Firespock, nice thread.

    i'm headed to tanker orientation in Houston next week and hopefully I'll be out on my own sometime in October. I was wondering what kind of numbers you were getting. How many miles are you averaging a week? Are you getting a fair amount of long runs? Are you logging more miles now as opposed to when you first started?

    Also, where do they send you mostly? I see you were in MI, PA, and the Carolinas. Is the Midwest and Southeast where you run mostly? Thanks
