    I'm not knocking your pay but there are many carriers that pay 45 to 49 cents a mile solo.

    Isn't there a linehaul company in Denver; HVH or something like that. Maybe they're 0/0's though.

    I made .36 cpm with Tankstar/Schwerman in Nashville, but with accessorial pays made $65K and some drivers there make $72K. I didn't make that much because I took long vacations overseas. Rodgers Cartage in Chattanooga is a division of Tankstar also. Transwood drivers in Cleveland,TN make more than that I think.

    You will blow by a Prime truck at 65. Did you mean 56?
    Seriously, one of their drivers told me it was 56 (after I witnessed a car almost rear-end him and I asked).
