    Your right. 28 percent is your cut of the load pay

    Ok ive noticed that for example mcelroy and howard pay mileage and for whatever reason don't average many miles, I'm guessing because mcelroy is mostly regional and Howard because they haul their own freight and things used for their transformers. I am seriously considering tmc and or wti. I saw a tmc truck in a walmart parking lot and fell in love. Wti is fairly close only 100 miles away in tuscaloosa. Mcelroy is maybe 5 minutes from my house though

    Do your due diligence and then jump in...but look into WIOA.

    I have already talked to them they've told me that they won't cover it until the fall semester. Problem is my local school is booked up into next year

    Looking at wti website it mentions company drivers get 26% if home on weekends or 28% if you stay out. But they do have company drivers according to the website
