    They were offering me .43cpm... While Bynum is giving me .56cpm, I'm making that right now but at least it's better than what Indian River was offering me LMFAO!! Hopefully I get raises and it'll bump up my pay more in the future. I'm kinda disappointed cause I've been wanting to go to Indian River since before I got my CDL, I feel like I applied at the wrong time, oh well, it’s not the end of world.

    I hope so, cause I'm honestly really nervous, with Tanker, going around the mountains in snow, ice and winds, all things I haven't experience yet.

    i'd rather drive for Swift at $.43 a mile. @nextgentrucker as soon as I get home I will send you a PM explaining why.
