    Here is my theory and is fact for 1 company. As the new drivers are brought in by the heap they get the miles since the pay is cheap. As they go up in pay it all repeats itself.

    Oh, and I just got my psp.
    0 dot reportable crashes, 1 passed and one failed inspection. The failed one was mud flaps, and ya, that cop was a douche so I returned the feeling. Lol.

    Dude get your one year in apply at Estes, you'll average 2200 miles a week at .52 cpm to start. Then you'll be singing that life's been good song while driving like I do. NE region is always in need of drivers with my co and they get home weekly!

    I saw they finally updated their tractors. I like nights. Think they'd be interested with double, triple, and x endorsements? Lol

    If you like nights you'll fit right in, but you need all endorsements.

    But yea once you get in there and learn the system, the dispatchers will push you to the limit if you let them, legally.....
