    SkidMark this if for you I'm sorry my post was too long. This is estimated and everything I say is truthful to the best of my knowledge.
    ---------------
    If you get a Union terminal you are paid for everything. I'm averaging 12-1,900 a week. It really all depends on what they have. There's a seniority lost so those guys take the long hauls and leave me with mostly local work that adds up to the Miles stated above. I usually work anywhere from 45-62 hours a week. You really want to run your hours because of all the ways to get paid. I'm averaging 9-1625 per week gross I get raped on taxes. 20 initial fee per week up to 400 for the union annotation. Then 48 dollars a month for dues. On a low hour week I could be home 2-3 times per week with the weekend off. Longer week home one day then off on the weekend for a restart. See like I said guys are taking long hauls to get paid good money plus 43$ to sleep in the truck. They have to be averaging 15-2,220 gross per week. They're like ghost I never see them. For medical you'll have to work 36 days in a 3 month span get in now! You'll get your medical and dental bennies in October. It's co-pays only and I'm guessing $75-100 for Er and everything else is covered. Also no wait to actually get in the union have your shop steward take your app in immeaditly. Vested with a pension @ 5 years for 650 per month can't get till 65....anything else let me know...

    43$ per night sleeping in the truck. Run 500 miles on Sunday better add 12 hours @ 17.41 per hour for time and a half gurantee every Sunday. Lots of those guys leave Saturday or Sunday. Can't get a back haul and sit for 24 hours? That's ok count it as a loss but you still get paid 17.41 for 8 hours

    I think I low balled for the guys running and sleeping every night in their truck but hey whatever. As for me new record Next weeks gross should be 2600-2800 im guessing like 800 right off the top lol. Hey, it looks good for loans so whatever


    All I'm saying is the money is deffiantly here I dot see myself leaving for atleast 5-10 years of all goes well maybe stay forever but I don't think so In 5 years my son will be 9 so little league, football and that stuff will start and I don't want to miss that. Luckily I started early but who knows.....

    Had to delete a couple of political posts in this thread. Let's not let it derail into a pissing match and get moved to politics. Someone might be interested in this job.
