    Anyone heard of these guys??
    They're based in Allentown, PA.
    They're looking for drivers to bobtail sold tractors regionally or nationally.
    They require Class A or B liscence (why a B?).
    Is this one of those gigs where you hafta tow your 4-wheeler with you
    and deadhead between runs??
    Any advice appreciated.

    I did check them out recently.
    You bobtail individual tractors regionall or nationally
    to truck dealerships.
    No stacking rigs nvolved.
    They pay .85 cpm and you average 3000 miles a week.
    The catch is that you pay all fuel and expenses.
    They 1099 you so you can deduct that quarterly
    so that should help.
    You hafta stay out for two weeks at a time but
    you decide how long you wanna be home after
    (up to one week).
    You hafta deadhead between runs sometimes.
    You are NOT allowed to crash in the truck.
    They pay your hotel/motel.
    Sounds like delivering RV's but with a twist.

    What's mpg on a bobtail? 12 mpg or so? That doesn't sound too bad except that you have to find your own transportation to the next job I think.

    You pay fuel out of pocket and they reimburse you---eventually?
