    I want to get an idea of what solo l/p drivers are making a prime. I am interested in intermodel, flatbed, and refer. Please say your division and gross avg per week. Thanks

    i was told by one of their drivers at a truck stop that they average $800 a week after truck payment and fuel, and if you go through their truck driving school you get paid $600 a week while you stay in their motel room, just pass the drug screen and physical on the first day and everything wil be ok

    If u go lease it say u make 72% that's false once ur fix cost comes out u making 28% also high truck payment you must run over 3000 miles to make a check... Lots of people lost everything house wife and the dog....stay company... Also if you want to train as a lease driver u have to pay 600.00 to the trainee....bottom line ur trainee will get paid u may not get a check
