Cpm and home time is most important. 100k miles a year at .50cpm there you go, 50k/year home hopefully every night, at least on weekends.
I was going to pilot previous 6 yrs, but they cut the points. I go to Loves now and get about double the points.
Good for this company I wish them well. With elogs theres no excuse not to pay drivers for all of their time while they live in the truck. As...
The mandatory elog thing is just there to put a lot of drivers out of business. There is definately a hidden agenda with elogs and the government....
Everyone that aint a foo knows cement aint steady work either.
Is concrete even steady work? I know one guy his wife did it and she had to call in every morning to see if there was a job available. I...
Dude in Reno, Nv our guys get 22. Waste management is at 23. Im regional out 4 days, home for fri and weekend. The arguement here is about the...

Whats the cpm loaded? Empty?
I would think so. My boss is a broker. He goes home everyday at 2pm. He pays me 45cpm loaded tank 32 empty. When i go to the Port of Oakland its...
Right just like with the airlines. Those planes fly themselves, but you still have 2 pilots to take control and monitor the systems. 80 thousand...
Yes but fewer i hope. I would think technology would simplify everything.
