    Do not agree to drive for 34 cpm. That's insulting.

    I agree, slap in the face! Although interstate does have some nice perks like apu,fridge, premium Cascadia with nice interior.

    Some of these companies need a serious reality check of surrounding companies that are paying better.

    Of course interstate and Schneider are one of those companies that rely on student drivers...churn and burn.

    I'd look elsewhere. Their port guys only make 400 a week or so..

    Sent you a PM about DHE....I agree with Rex...stay away from port group! The truckload side is the group offering $0.44 cpm with minimum 6 months solo experience. Been here going on 9 years...like all companies it isn't all roses and ice cream...but they do seem to be at least trying to work out the bad eggs within the office environment!

    Drake Farms Trucking in San Luis Obispo sometimes has a home weekly multi pickup position in so cal area and drop at their itty bitty yard in SLO for consolidation onto 48 state trucks. Nice equipment, decent pay. Expect to run HARD.

    Interstate, I applied and was approved by kkw...they will offer you .41 cpm correct? ..well that's all fine and dandy til you average 1800 miles a week! Go with Interstate be apart of a well established and respected company! Hell I was even turned down and I have 2 years experience but I had a DUI seven years ago that was dismissed and I also have documentation for it! But interstate is so well-rounded they still denied me! butt with all due respect they are 2016 best fleet to drive for !!!! who could ask for anything more? Interstate all the way buddy!

    I've worked for KKW Trucking before...... not the company to work for. They give you less than 2,000 a week and their pay grade is not all that. They advertise on their FB page that they pay their local drivers $24 hr but that's not true...... it's $14 hr. You make minimum wage paychecks there!!
