Is it typical for carriers to pay teams a flat rate as opposed to mileage? I'm thinking that's a sweet deal because if you run into any issues on...
500 miles is very possible. Throw in 2 drop and hooks and a crosstown and you're gravy!
So they married the two. I hope it's not too late for you to take the job deuter. I would. And to prove my point further, that fleet is only be...
It really all depends Cody. Some guys are making bank on the local routes. The only way a regional guy can trump a local guy in pay is if he's...
