    Doubt what? One of their drivers in a 2016 truck is consistently bringing home $2k+ a week. I'm looking at a 16 Freightshaker.

    Did the recruiter tell you this? Did he give you the drivers phone number?
    Did you see a settlement check from last week? Lol

    Forgot to quote, sorry.

    I spoke to the driver on the phone. Do you work for them? What info can you give me before I head into this? Anything would be helpful. Thank you!

    That's accurate money. Just realize that there will be $0 weeks followed by $3000-4000 weeks sometimes. I grossed $20000 a month in the 3 months since I started l/p. My home time is about 10 days off for 6 weeks out. Sometimes more time off.
     
    Bumper and Anonymousproxy Thank this.

    10-4, thank you very much. I'm currently leasing at WEL, grossing 3k a week, bringing home anywhere from 500 to 1300 net a week and home every weekend. I'd rather be gone 3 weeks and make better money and not have to stress vs. What I'm doing now. Was also looking at Scotlynn but its #### near impossible to get anyone on the phone to talk to.

    And yes, I've had plenty of $0 weeks here, but the week after doesn't make up for it the way they run you here.

    I was talking net, btw. It's hard to nail down an avg/mile number. I regularly get over $2 to the truck gross. Sometimes it's $1.50 gross. Avg would probably be $1.75-1.85 area.

    I don't have too many gripes. If they could improve something, I'd say communications and putting in a little more time. It feels faster than the 57mph they say the loads are dispatched at. My truck runs 69, and I regularly feel behind, and I'm not a truck stop junky. I know a lot of that feeling comes from getting out of the shipper late.

    Overall I'm happy. I was able to put my own repair fund aside, as well as having the company's. My truck was taken care of before I got it in May. I got the first Volvo l/p, and love it. Only thing on that end is getting back up to Fargo to get things worked on. Small potatoes. Good company.
