    What are some of the companies that have good benefits? Free medical and dental or very cheap at least
    What are some of the companies that give the driver the most miles? like you know over 1700 miles a week?
    And what about this per- diam ,crap? Is it industry standard now to give to the driver in the form of a tax brake?
    Seems a little shady, but hey if thats the way every else is doing it, well ,then maybe I need to try something else.
    What are some of the companies that do not work the north east? I knew my company USX worked NE when I signed up, but I did not know is they intend to keep me in the NE for the rest of my life UGHHH!
    USX is a good company and maybe I`m doing something wrong, but I can only seem to get a good paycheck like once a month ,and then it is not really that good, about $700.00 after taxes.
    They just dont give me many miles, and when I do get a run with a lot of miles say 700 or 800 miles they give me 3 or 4 days to get it to shipper with no chance of early drop or repower or swap wit h another driver.
    Its a real battle, they say they keep you busy, but hey look , if I got time to write this long post what does that tell you?
    I`m just looking for a good company that will pay you a decent wage, say $1000.00 a week for O.T.R.!
    A real per diam.
    Good health insurance, not something thats going to take $150.00 out of my pay check every week.
    Last but not least, give me the miles man, I can run it! I want more miles!!
    Oh yea and they cant have an idle policy

    Well I know you lol about the free health, but it seems like I heard some where that there was a company doing this? Not sure where I heard that from, but I will say that $150.00 a week is way too high

    You a a part of the research google in fact led me to this forum, so... what else is better than hearing from the horses mouth so to speak? Reading reviews and things is ok, but I like to talk to people and get real opinions
