I agree. Their company drivers on the high end, pulling the superloads, make over $100g. I’ve seen multi axle company drivers make $100g, but a 5 axle flatbedder?

We've got a couple of guys here at transport pulling down $100k a year. Each in a quad axle Coronado 122, or a quad cascadia. I considered smoky point myself but decided on transport because they are smaller.
Every spd driver ive spoken with have nothing but good things to say, even after the merger with Daeske -
SPD seems to command a lot of respect here. I’ve definitely noticed that. And I do still want to be a company driver. Without getting into my work history, let’s just say I find freedom in not worrying about payments and bills and how things are gonna work out. That’s worth something to me.

austinmike, Dan.S, Gunner75 and 1 other person Thank this. -
We have some. But not on 5 axles. But then again, how often do you see a 5 axle pulling 19 wides on a regular basis?

Ever chatted with @kylefitzy?
Anyways,they’re like the other players out there...they’re going to want you to work your way up. Lots of guys do well with the 10 wides but bomb with the 12-12’6 wides.

Hmmmm, the oversized loads. Gotta love them.

Yes Kyle talked to me. Decent dude. He is happy there and if I ever make a change I would use his name.
