How many people are going to make big money their first year? Cpm doesnt matter. It's about the miles one is will to run. At this point getting experience is most important. The big bucks will come

In a big rig you have almost 2000 feet pounds of torque and big horse involved in it. Takes a transmission able to lift 40 ton up around a 25 to 30% incline. Thats where you come in, syncronizing gears. Thats all it really is. You get the engine to a certain point, you shift up. IF you are going upgrade your engine will lug down and at some point you must shift down. Always the same RPMs involved Eventually she will have enough reduction to over come the mountain going up.
Once over the top though getting down is a whole problem in reverse this time. Your Jacobs is applying engine braking against the 40 ton weight if your gear selection is correct you will ride that jacobs all the way down to the bottom. When you see the bottom and it's straight, you can go ahead and let her go. One exception, Fancy Gap. The NC scales at the bottom. which is really the worst place to put a scale. -

For example; with 20 years experience I took a job that paid .36 cpm and I took home between $1000 - $1200 on average because of excellent accessorial pays. Stop pay plus detention pay after one hour. Other pays, but that depends on the company you work for.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
