    I've been doing this a long time and without t4s......what drivers report to make is usually exaggerated.

    True. But some of us have no reason to exaggerate, because we really don’t care what others think. I did high 90’s last year, lost 8 weeks due to a couple surgeries. I’ll be back to 110 ish this year. And I’m home daily, off weekends.

    You get what you paid for. Unfortunately sometimes it costs more than what you could ever put a dollar amount on :(

    @upnorthwpg Your setup and working hours sounds like what I'm looking for. Is there any chance you could send me a message so that we can have a quick chat? (I can't initiate as I don't have enough posts). Thanks.

    I am ...hahahah

    Also the company I contract to. When I started here awhile also I was getting 35/hour +OT after 8. I was working my 40 hours within the first 3.5 days and making bank after that.

    That job gave me the ability to buy 1 truck, then another and another, etc. Now I’m the boss making $185/ hour on every truck.

    Always gonna be a wild card.

    Considering there is 1-10 Van/Reefer crashes a day in BC/Ontario, I still stand by my Statements.
