    Nice enough ride. Cpm is a bit low, which is what I had previously heard. Any incentives or realistic bonuses to help ramp up the pay? Hopefully, you get the miles.

    Fuel and safety bonus. Both can be done. Was told miles will be higher if you are willing to run California. I live 15 miles from the Lakeland terminal. No problem with home time.

    How much experience is needed? Does not list on their site. Also can you take the trucks home?? No more Classic XL's? :biggrin_2557:

    They say 18 months, but I think they'll work with you ion that. One guy had 2 years. It depends in how far from the closest terminal which is Lakeland. No. All Mid roof Cascadia's.

    They had me drop that load on the yard yesterday and let the local guy deliver it for me so I could have some time at the house.. He also loaded my next load. Picking it off the yard and going to Upper Marlboro, MD for early Monday morning.
