    Are you commuting back and forth to Buffalo or staying at the hotel?

    When I did orientation last September to be a company driver, the other driver was signing on to run local out of our customer in West Seneca. He lives around Buffalo. He stayed at the hotel in orientation.

    Rate cuts don't affect company drivers.

    I've seen rates all over the place, but my pay wasn't affected. The owner-operators had to work with it somehow, because they're small business owners.
    I went through 2 recessions and my pay wasn't affected at all.

    That’s low pay for 2022. It’s better then the
    .41 mile Western Express is paying the
    Somalians they’re hiring.
