    Hey what's going on, here's the deal

    Starting off in Fontana
    Staff is good informational
    Start off at 21% of gross load
    1 percent bonus every 3 months
    Benefits Med and Dent - starts 60 days
    Payday is every 2 weeks

    1% raise salary every 3 month evaluation 1% bonus annually

    Example $1900x.21= 399 proabably a day and a half worth of work

    Short load pays around $190-240
    Longer loads pays $350-490

    Pays for hotel, meals however not
    Ride with a trainer for about a month mind you this is the end of my first week

    Pick up from Ports Long Beach, The Bay, and go to Utah, North and Southern California, Vegas and Phoenix

    Spending a lot of time putting up and taking off cars on the ramp, strapping down cars.

    Last but no least different terminals has different primary dealers like Fontana has Toyota and Hyundai others has BMW as well as Ford, Chevelots and Dodge so do your research

    CTC has been using them in our terminal for over a year. No difference in earning potential for those that were running legal prior to them.

    The spelling of the 2nd to last word can change the meaning of the last. Freudian slip of money lost. ;)

    That's what I was wondering. Whether anyone was logging all their time loading as on duty
