    yeah it's $130 per xtown (CN HARVEY TO NS LANDERS/NS 47TH/NS63RD but primarily NS LANDERS... and CN HARVEY TO CSX 59TH). and it's $60 per xtown for company drivers. i personally dont do xtown unless dispatch gives them to me but they're pretty easy, done them before.. nice n sweet work.

    JJ, I just learned about that tonight. I guess it's a special rate JB offers to companies who put tricks on exclusively. JB only pays $100 to C&K

    CN to Landers or 63/47 are easy x-town's.

    yeah that sounds about right -- jb hunt xtowns are probably much easier but they pay much much less. i have a few friends and cousins who work at jb hunt -- ... they pretty much do about 5-7 xtowns a day.. it pays them about $45-60 bucks a move ..... they're avg checks are about $1,700 to $2,100 tops.... but they're happy.. all the power to THEM! dont expect much from jb hunt for folks who wanna lease on to them... you'll get what you signed up for.

    now ... as far as jb paying ck $100 per move... can only imagine what C&K pays their O/O's... probably the same thing $45 to $50 a move.. afterall.. C&K needs to make some profit aswell. lol

    I've never worked for c&k, but it's 70%, so it's what an IC would make working for JB or schneider directly. The difference is one move maybe JB then swift then UPS then swift then CSX.

    I did it for couple of years, but I couldn't do it every day, I'd kill someone.

    @RERM i get $200 a x-town, but only get 1-2 a week. ISO tanks on private chassis and mostly 47th - global 4 or vice versa. I wish we more of them, I'd do them all the time.

    These are sulfuric acid tank loads, so fun stuff. As long as nothing's leaking, I'm happy.

    Why is everyone on a frickin hiring freeze when im about to buy a truck in a week or 2. Might have to look into company driver at kiswani till o/o opens up. How long you think till that happens @JJKid
