    Please do not Hijack someone else's thread in the flatbed section to ask about van companies. There is a whole section called "Motor Carrier Questions-the inside scoop" please post your question there.

    I have been truck driving for 12 months and I love it. I started with CR England in February 2015. Now that I know what I know I wish that I took another route to get my CDL. CR England paid me .14 cents per mile and they put me under a contract which prevented me from getting another job while I was under their employment contract or I could buy them out of the contract by paying them the sum of $7,500. Needless to say I didn't have $7,500 laying around. So I stuck it out and fulfilled my contract over 9 months. I am OTR driving 48 states. When my contract was completed I quit the next Following day and joined Swit with no contract because I did not attend their school I worked for Swift for 3 months. Now I have 12 experience with a perfect drivingrecord I am now moving to a new company that pays .38 cents per mile. The good news is that with this company I only needed 3 months of experience to be hired. They allow me to have my pet on the truck with me if I choose. I will drive Western Regional with 14 days on and 3 days off. I think I will enjoy working for the new company. In fact I would like to bring along a rider for 14 days so the rider could see what trucking entails.

    $.38 a mile, run your rear end off and you could make $40,000.

    My ultimate goal short term is to be O/O and team up driving 5,000 miles per week. Enhancing my driver skills now. Driving OTR is good for me because I have no kids. I have my own business as a paralegal which brings me good $$$$ so right now just trying to master the art of truck driving
