    Is that paid mile or actual miles ran, because those companies short most drivers @ 10-20%

    Billed miles. If the company shorts me, it means they shorted themselves.

    This ad is from 1997 before fuel prices took off. Please? Even early 2k's I remember Forward Air advertising 97 cpm and couldn't figure out how guys could make it.

    That's no Peterbilt, It a fiberglass, piece of aerodynamic, electronic crap with weak engine, an automatic trans, and every device to track your every move inside and out of the truck. What a life in this industry.

    Please somebody shot me, and put my starving family out of their memory.I have no talent, respect for myself, or others, and dear God. I am a moron for working for these types of rates, and being a disappointment to mankind.
