    I chatted with a guy at the track tonight who said since the tulsa to north Dakota and back to Texas turn around has stopped and the money dropped dramatically. My concerns are when the rates drop soon what will the money look like

    I've been here a short bit. So far so good, there's some occasional times where I've had to sit due to things beyond anyone's control such as drops in the middle of nowhere and no freight leaving the area.

    My check this week was a slow week and came in around 775 after taxes, the check coming next week will be around 1500 after taxes and the one following that will be really small due to the time sitting in Arizona and Laredo.

    They have an odd pay schedule but once rolling in the swing of things you don't really notice it. They pay 2 weeks out. So the money on the check this week was from my second and third loads with the company.

    I'm in the regional part and been home every weekend except the last 2 because of a 4800 dollar load to Arizona and currently a problem with a trailer that road service advised needed eyes from a more qualified repair shop.

    You'll notice I said so far... if it does I'll be sure to update things. It was also ruled recently that companies are required to pay you for wait time so interested to see how that will that affect.

    Dispatched via phone call and through axon app, Keeptruckin elds, new pete 579s and cascadia evolutions. All autos. Pete's have 455hp mx13 paccar engines and 12 speed paccar trans. Cascadias have 500hp dd15 and dt12 autos. And I mean new as in less that 1000 miles usually, just depends what's available. Trailers are in good shape. Just depends what you get they dont use one set brand of trailer. Forward looking camera, no inside view camera. 20190121_091550.jpg
