    CLC for hotels.

    The company is Zenith Freight.
    It's on hwy 70 across from the Fairgrounds near the Hky Speedway. If you're from the area, you prob know where I'm talking about.
    Guys come and go here... but mostly on the LTL side, because it's so hands on and most people are just lazy.
    I made 100k this year.

    You could run a stop load Ohio and a stop load GA and be home every weekend and make 80k and not kill yourself.
    When I say home weekends it'll vary.
    You might get back Thurs night and have to leave Sunday at noon.
    You might get back Sat afternoon and stay in till Monday afternoon.
    The harder you work and the more dependable you are for these folks... the more laid back they are.
    The linehaul drop/hook pays less cpm because they reward the guys that handle the freight that pays the bills.
    You can still make a good living running the system and not fingerprinting freight.
    It's what YOU want to do.

    I can't say for certain exactly the cpm the linehaul guys get... it's less than LTL.
    Our scale is...
    .50 to start
    .53 after 6mo
    56 after 10yr
    THATS HUB MILES... not practical crap.
    $20 a stop.
    A lot of times you'll stop for 2 or 3 pcs of furniture and be there for 5 minutes. $20.
    That's why LTL pays more.
    A lot of my loads average
    .85 cpm when you put in the layover pay that comes as well.

    They also pay on a per diem scale. $66/day is non taxed since the new tax laws went into effect.

    Yes... Insurance.
    BCBS.
    Free for you.
    Bad news is it's a high deductible.
    $3500.
    But... its FREE.
    100% paid after the deductible if you go in hospital or something.
    Family rate when I had it was around $80-$100 wk... but my kids are grown and gone. Can't say now.

    This is the kind of information that I like to see. Very informative, give me the lowdown of everything. When I looked at their website, they have three driving position available. They have local, OTR, and Regional. If I wanted to do the dedicated Lanes that you told me about, which one would I pick? Also send me a private message so I can list you as my referral.
