    So how is the pay over there? How much are you averaging clean for 5 days?

    Right now it’s pretty slow but when it picks up $1500-2000 Monday through Friday working 8 hours usually. But if you work the full 11 i would say guaranteed 2000+ and if you work weekends 2500+

    That’s crazy! I was working at Chicago Intermodal Transportation averaging $2600-$2800 for five days. But the dispatchers there give the good loads to their fav drivers. I’m looking at Bear Cartage right now. What lanes do you run there?

    I just do cross towns , maybe 3-4 customers a week usually anywhere between ns 63 - bnsf willow for cross towns and no customer farther then 50 miles typically 20-30 miles. I’m kind of lazy and don’t like traffic i just prefer smooth day’s

    Do they still have a lot of cross towns or you just prefer doing cross towns over customers?

    So then I’m guessing there are regional ops that make 500-600$ more a week than you? Can you tell me any lanes they do i.e. Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan?
