    NOT a chance in hell, I would NOT team with the "crap" individual if offered all of Fort Knox and Wells Fargo combined.

    I TOTALLY agree. If I were a truck driver, outside of a trainer, if given the choice, I would ONLY team with these 3 people: me, myself, and I.

    I would not be interested in teaming with anybody outside of a special one time type deal.

    Negative on everything . OP, Know you just threw randoms out, I'll be the craphead, Drive older trucks/trailers listed and still make more then 50c when doing mileage runs. A good day is having a trailer made within the last several years lol.

    Using a "leased" 53' trailer made in 1997. Not sure if we bought it or still renting it, No indication on trailer about my employer:biggrin_2559:

    Screw miles. 600-1200 miles a week. Hourly !

    Pay rate isn't everything. I also look at benefits, 401k matching and home time.

    With that being said: I wouldn't turn the key for any less than 50 cpm, and I wouldn't get out of bed for anything less than 40 CPM. I did my time at Good 'ole England and don't care for that cheap pay anymore.

    I haven't thought about Olongapo City in years. Those were the days. I believe that the naval base in Subic Bay is no longer there.
