Your husbands issues at his present company don't happen here. We do have some slow times but nothing like what you describe. We get paid every 2 weeks which I have said time and time again is a bonus, if one has a few bad days, or takes an extra day or two at the house, you can come out and make it up. I have averaged 3150 miles per week the 3 years I've been here. That's 6300 per pay period.

Running the NE is good pay wise, but the stress level is through the roof by the time you get back to Richmond, and that's coming from a driver that was born and raised in the Bronx. I don't need that brain damage. I made 68k last year, I also trained a little. If I take out my training pay, as a solo driver, I made 62k and had great home time. I've been here 3 years and have 2 days of layover. This is the only company I have worked for that if you get empty at 3pm on a Friday, they will have a load for you or deadhead you someplace to get one on Saturday.

I've been at this for 38 years, I'm done in 4 more years when I turn 64. I'll stay here as long as they want me. Any questions just ask, one of us will answer you.

My outbound load just got finished loading at our dock. My trainee is finished with orientation. We are in the motel. We'll be leaving at 6am. 1 drop in Chandler Az, 1 drop in Peoria Az, I drop in Visalia Ca and the final in Goleta Ca. 3095 paid miles and 3 extra stops. Empty on Tuesday.

I thought the NE was 36 + 10 CPM but maybe the dedicated regional drivers get an extra penny on top of the 10 NE bonus.

Grab a screen shot of that web page just in case... LOL
