    Guess you missed the memo... Rates have increased 5 CPM overall, an additional 5 CPM for a night time differential, and 3 CPM for driving in fog... things are really hopping now that @JohnBoy bought the company. :rolleyes:
     
    JohnBoy and 5speed Thank this.

    Ya, JB has a great thread going here. A great source of info for those looking at Abilene and for current drivers to help each other too.

    One of the main reasons I came to Abilene.

    I thought it was because we get 50cpm, run 3200 miles in 5 days with 80mph trucks and home every weekend. That's why I'm here.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    And the dude that started it is still here (me). To answer anyone's question about CPM, that's just one piece of the reason I'm still here. My reasons for staying are so much different then a lot of others. Money? I just took a weeks vacation that is paid at a rate based on your previous 6 months weekly average. My vacation check was $1410. Don't even try and figure out the CPM, my next vacation in February will be about $75 higher. I don't usually talk about what I make. The only reason I posted that was to back up a few responses from what people have said, there's more to this company then CPM.
