    I grossed $90k the last two years, on track for about that this year. I run western regional dry van, do about 135k miles, 58 cpm, penny raise each year. If you run all 48, they pay more. Raises are miserly. I would be fascinated to find out what they start you at.

    Recruiter said .63 cpm, minus a cent for my 2 pets id bring, i heard reefer pays more and flat bed too, so might consider those

    Shaffer side is usually two cents a mile more that’s how they pay structure and has been for quite some time

    HOLY MOSES, HOPEFULLY no one got hurt or killed.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

    People need to eat all year round, regardless of the economy. My guess is that reefer freight is much more secure, as a whole.

    I actually like it much better than the old one. It's much faster. I like the smart delivery aspect of the tablet. There are still some bugs, but they'll get them worked out
