    I started in 2016 with zero experience and was making .37 CPM. I still made good money, why?, Abilene has (or had, I left last year to go local) has lots of miles to run. You will make more money doing 3,000 miles @ .39 CPM than you will 2,000 miles @ .45 or even .50 CPM.

    It is, but the money you make isn't. I made $67K my first year. Granted, I stayed out 2-3 months at a time, but the point still stands, you can make good money if you want to.

    We do very rarely. About once a year. We get hired by Swift as power only to deliver some of their freight. Last year we had about 7 loads sitting at our West Memphis yard waiting to deliver.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and MACK E-6 Thank this.
