    Your right about making more cpm after that magical year but keep in mind the grass isn't greener on the other side. In most cases, companies with high cpm's don't usually get you a whole lot of miles. Don't let cpm cloud your judgement. It sounds like USA Truck isn't doing bad by you, don't be foolish, stick it out.

    Ditto what he said, I left for other reasons but bought into the the whole cpm thing when looking a new companies, went with Celadon and their $1000 bonus plus a week off every 30,000 miles , took me 26 days to get 3000 miles< needless to say I left on day 27, do your home work when it comes to changing companies...

    Shoot driver, shoulda run that load up to Buffalo and then told them the truck's been impounded. That'd get their attention!
