    Park by their yard and get on the CB and find someone to buy a cup of coffee for.

    Been with National Carriers for a little over 5 months. I like them so far. As a company driver, I averaged roughly 2800 miles per week. Their starting pay is 34 and 38cpm. Any run over 600 miles will be paid at 34 cpm and anything under 600 miles will be paid at 38cpm. They pay 100 dollar a day layover pay for breakdowns, if you're sitting all day waiting on a preplan you will also get layover pay. The dispatchers will know you by voice. Anytime you're in Irving, TX, you can just walk in and talk to your driver manager. If you have any kind of disagreement or conflict with your DM, you can always request a load toward Irving. So far I'm liking it. Any more questions you have, feel free to ask

    I run west coast as a lease... I take home 1100 weekly on average... As a company man... I was taking home around 850... Pretty much any west coast run you do will make you 38cpm as a company driver.

    West coast is best suited for those who live in Southern Cal, AZ, or Las,l Vegas, because 34s can bw,,taken at home

    It's easy, there's no labor involved... If you live in a percentage region,.I'd recommend doing a petcentage based lease, just because 2, 300-400 runs pays everything having to do with the truck
