    It's supposed to, alot of it this year has been moving for flatbed rates. My truck has spent more time in the shed this year than on the road.

    Pesos/// In all honesty I'm not sure some of these guys in here are talking way more money then I make but I think they are o/o I'm a company driver I make .48 cpm plus tarp ,plus border crossing, plus load and unload $$ , my last check gross was a little over $2500 for 2 weeks. I usually drive about 2000-2500 miles a week and have weekends off or most of the weekend. I only tarp about 10% of my loads we haul alot of really heavy steel and lumber. It's a good job

    Seems to be a problem with drivers. Too lazy to actually park, eat well, shower, know the laws, do a pretrip. And the list goes on.
