    lol just now reading the comments. Guys this isnt rocket science. Knight, Prime, TMC, AR logistics, ATS transport are the companies paying new guys $1000 a week out of school. I am an OTR driver. Starting pay at Knight is .38cpm. Knight Transportation and Knight Refrrigatored is 2 different companies owned by the same person. I do not know what a dry van guy starts with. Now at .38cpm all i need is 2800 miles a week to gross $1000. Since im on per diem i am not paying full taxes as the goverment allows us about $55 a day or something.

    2812 x .38cpm = $1068.56 gross. After tax+ perdiem I net $915 dollars. This load only took 4 days to do and i was a drop and hook at a macy drop yard. That left me 3 more days to run another 1500 miles.

    Also the reason CR England is in business is because 95% of new people do not ask about pay. They dont relize that .25cpm is lower than .38cpm. TMC and Prime is close to .42cpm starting. Also Knight brokers all there loads. They are getting $2.00+ per mile.

    Per diem is now $61 but this industry can only claim 80% of that.

    I have seen his company profile, he don't make anywhere near that, tho he claims he does. It took him almost a year and 3 months to hit 100k miles. His service record for on time deliverys is also around 60%. What he touts on youtube vs what he actually makes are two very different things.

    He has also been #### near fired a few times, tho he has his lips locked around someone in Memphis pretty good.

    lol i know he has almost been fired. I got $2000 because they give him extra pay that us other drivers dont get. Layover pay if he gets to reciever 1 day early (-_-). He gets detention for every stop pass 2hrs. Then runs almost 500 miles a day. Now his check is probably shorter because he has child support, benefits being taken out but if it was someone that dont have those things like me i would be getting way more cash.

    I know that feeling.

    I cashed in 3 weeks vacation last week due to being terrified to take time off, and I just got done writing 7 checks that took most of it.
