    1099 pay. No withholding. You're responsible for your own taxes. However they pay monthly and deduct truck/trailer payment, insurance and fuel(they give you a fuel man card) or of course you can buy your own fuel. So after fixed payments and fuel deductions my net was a little over 150 k. Out of that 150 I paid for tires maintenance ect.

    Thats pretty good money. Thank you for sharing. I have a friend that recently is going to start working over there I'm gonna see how it works out for him. It has been a time in between places weather to be a company driver or go out on my own like y'all. Once again thanks for sharing. Now I have something to think about.

    One other thing, I hear complaints about recruiting. I don't know if they are uninformed or just make ##### up but a lot of new guys come in with major misconceptions. Usually about work area and loads. Ask to speak with an AOM(area operations manager) for your area and ask him the same questions you ask recruiting.

    My buddy has had that experience. It took weeks for recruiting to call him back. Then additional weeks for them to schedule the orientation ect. He has already spoke to a AOM which he knew previously and I am sure that helped out a lot. Thanks for providing the free information. Be careful.

    Yes the payment is high but honestly is probably not far from what you'd pay for a new truck off a dealers lot with no down.
    Also if you want out give 30 days notice and you're off the hook. Just make sure tires are good and nothing wrong with the truck.
