    You get that for all dispatched miles whether you're driving or sleeping while the other team driver drives. That's the way team pay works; both drivers get paid for all dispatched miles whether driving or not. Carolina Cargo runs 5 to 6 thousand miles a week.

    Out of the 100,000 plus trucking companies in the country, and may be the 5000 of them in NY, you only are looking at 25?

    All these companies I applied to were giving to me by the good people on this forum, if you were so kind to name a few of those 100,000 you say are in the country; I would apply to them.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Go to Texas or North Dakota. Work in the oil fields. You'll make good money.

    Nah, come on out to Las Vegas; lots of good trucking jobs with good home time, cheap housing, no personal income tax in Nevada, plenty of wine/women/song.
     
    HotH2o, yankeefan and HauntedSchizo19 Thank this.
