    Annual means yearly. 120k is 120,000, k=1000. Daily you will average somewhere in the 400s.

    Yeah. First 15 paychecks were zero due to advances, sleep machine, shop time and bad weather. Shut myself down alot because of winter. This past winter, worst in a long time and it was first time driving lol. It was mostly by fault. DM set me up to fail on some loads but I took their crap. I blame no one but myself. I've moved on to another company where with this check I'll have earned enough to buy, fridge, CB, and other personal items I need. I don't hate Crete/Shaffer. Like I said most of it my fault but I will not hide their shortcomings either

    They will make you do it if your overweight and then it's pretty much guranteed that you'll be diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. They'll make you buy a $900 Cpap machine. The machine will report to Crete if your not using it. Don't use it then you'll be put out of service till you submit to Lord Cpap.

    If you have a neck circumference of 17.5 inches or more, or BFI of 35 or more, they will want you to do a sleep study, at least those were the lines when I took it a few years back. It is NOT guaranteed that you will be diagnosed with it...when I did it, we had 6 guys taking it, and 1 of the 6 came out of it with a diagnosis and machine.
