    So still with Werner. Back on a dollar account.
    Making good money.
    They upped the pay. Only doing 3 loads a week. Making 1k-1200 a week.
    Had some bites. No offers yet.
    Got one.
    Wants me bad.
    Class b running a vacuum tanker again.
    18/hr, no ot.
    Paid health, no dental.
    5 day work week.
    Not sure if I want to run home for 720 a week pre tax and no dental.
    Good reputable company, but no A work and no A money.
    I'm in Boston.
    720 a week to those of you in the south is great.
    Rent and basic utilities run me to the tune of 1200 a month.
    Throw in car insurance, cell phone, etc that's another 350 a month.
    So out of the 2k a month post tax, I keep 500.
    Grr.

    @BostonTanker ... with your background and skills, can you 'negotiate?!?' Say, $22 . . . ? Tell him since you are not 18 and don't drive like one, you deserve the extra four~! Just my $.02 . . . That's thinkable.

    2K for three loads a week versus 5 days of feeding a tanker.. hmm..

    I'll keep the 2K and three loads a week.

    Look into the south. You Yankees pay too much for everything. You think you have some sense by now.

    If I was a new driver I would take that wage because how many starter companies pay much more then that.But for a veteran driver that's an insult.

    Says the guy with no reading comprehension. He said 1,000 to 1200 a week on the three loads not 2,000
