    Waiting to test for CLP. There are TV'S on the wall with the numbers being called and of course they're running ads. I've seen recipies for French Onion soup and one for KLLM Driving school. It's also been stated on a different video that truck drivers can make $100k-$150k. This is provided by the Truckers Network, whoever that is. Who knew!

    And, of course, part of their computer system is down.

    I drive for FFE (KLLM sister company) That is definitely owner op / lease op net pay. Not company driver pay. Company drivers (solo) makes about 50k first year net. Team makes more around 70k a year each.

    I have a friend that is an owner op and trainer for FFE. He brought home around 150k last year.

    Husband and I team, we brought home around $120k last year as a company driver. Averaged 5500 miles a week. We run as a super solo (1000 miles a day / 5.5 days a week) We work linehaul. (Terminal to Terminal)

    FFE plasma team drivers make more money.

    I'll see what I can do. Was just informed they aren't able to take payments so I can't take the tests. No idea when the system will be fixed and no phone number to call to find out. Dontcha just love the way the government runs stuff?

    Did I hear right, you were trying to get the dmv to let you make payments on your driving test??
    I have never heard of such a thing.

    I think he said the payment system was down so he couldn't pay fees for what he was there for. There was a nationwide network/database outage 1/13/2020 for a few hours.

    Back at DMV. Computers are up and place is packed. Figure a minimum of 3 hrs b4 I get to test for CLP. If I can sit on these plastic chairs that long a truck seat will be like my recliner.
