    4500-5000 gross a week sounds closer to what I'd guess they're paying. I have no idea what they deduct or what discounts they offer, though.
     
    Coloradoman Thanks this.

    A week sounds a lot better than a month. Just not to sure if it's worth the added wear and tear. Just havnt received a phone call back from the companies that I applied for.

    In reality its between 3.5k 4k a week take home
    Pros: work all year long , cheap insurance, office staff is awesome they always communicate with you and treat you like you matter, fuel discounts with fuel surcharge it comes out to $1 to 1.20 a gallon
    Cons: mountain driving in winter, it can be challenging but its doable, some trailers are junk but they are king soopers trailers so it's not really on them.
    They also have a lot of front range stores they deliver to ,and also up and down I 25 and couple on the plains
    And by the way max weight u pulling combined is 65k
    There are a lot of drivers in this company that been there for 15 years+ and are happy so I guess they are doing something right

    For us it was almost entirely night driving. Preloaded trailers would be ready in the afternoon, live unload appointments were usually around 6pm-10pm, with drop and hooks going until the early morning. I'm guessing they've got morning loads, but we never saw them. I prefer driving nights because of traffic.

    Do you have to run back empty?

    From what they told me, you pick up an empty trailer where you drop the loaded one and head back.

    Yes, except some of the dock areas are dark and really tight. I'd still rather deal with that than traffic, though.
