    Surprised to see USA Truck pays 39 cents. Not horrible and Not Great. Confirmed it through the website.
    They use our yard as a drop yard and we sometimes overflow in that area , I'll be nice and just say monthly plow over our Chain Link Fence backing up and Love to Nudge our Pups. Only reason know this, Sometimes I'm the yard man and freakin witness it :biggrin_2559:

    Learn something new each day, There not bottom of the barrel. Sure as heck seemed that way.

    You can do much better than Werner. So, I hope that you are not considering them. Try Crete. My buddy works for them, and he made over 65k last year. He makes $0.49-$0.50 now that he's been there for two years. Starting pay for newbies is over $0.40-$0.45. Only thing that sucks about them, is they are not the greatest company for Hometime. As I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, if Hometime is your number one priority, I would suggest Roehl. Pay is not the greatest, but still better than Werner at $0.34. Their 7/4, 7/3 fleet is great for hometime.

    We have them listed at .37 is their minimum now .40? If so, i'll update it. Also does Roehl still have the 14/7 deal? I wouldn't mind doing 30/14 if allowed to keep my sanity LOL, that was my schedule in the oilfields too 30 days on, 2 weeks off. Let's you get down to business while on duty and actually enjoy your life when off duty.
