    Raven transport.....50/CPM learn the system and it works great. Like all companies,certain times of the year it gets slow. But from Jan. 1 to march 31, I have already hit 17k in the 1$t 3 months of this year and I'm only at .47/CPM. Breakdown pay,detention pay,extended layover. Single coverage insurance I pay $35.?? For health, dental, and vision.

    For what it's worth I am a 25-year veteran myself and as ashamed as I am to say it I hold the world record in driving jobs and I have to say this is the best job hands down that I have ever had 10 - 14 days out the usually its more like 10 days. They try to have you home by fri. Or sat. only thing I don't like is the home time policy we don't per se get days off. It is 24-hour periods two weeks 48 hours off 3 weeks out 72 hours off you set your PTA two weeks out 48 hours off 3 weeks out 72 hours off you set your PTA for exactly that time from the time you get in if you get in 10 o'clock Friday night you have to be available for dispatch 10 o'clock Sunday night not to say necessarily you will get dispatched at that time but you must be available outside of that again what is the best company I have worked for. If you would like any more information feel free to p.m. me if I don't have the answer for you I will either get it or direct you to the proper person that can

    Drive for Ozark Motor Lines out of Memphis, TN. The pay is good, equipment is new and the people are top notch. You'll haul for same handful of customers and get to know the routes like it was dedicated.

    I wish more people would post quatery or annual earnings like you are, then the per week BS. Everybody can have one good week at just about any company.

    Saying that, that home time policy stinks. :D So you get ten days out then 24 hours at home?

    No 48 hours after 10-14 it starts as soon as you park the truck @ home20 where most places I have worked it was 2 days off not counting the day you got in....in otherwords if you get home 1900 Fri. By 1900 Sunday must be ready for dispatch, unless your already under a load than you leave whenever your ready long as your on time with load
