    Not sure of the pay, but I know they have good equipment that runs about 65 mph.

    I think there trucks run 68, I looked at them. Only problem I have is I don’t like throwing straps over preloaded & tarped trailers.

    .....not really a big deal for me to secure a load tarped or not...worse case...keeps your tarps from blowing up like a balloon....

    If the DC in Tennessee is anything like the DC in Washington Courthouse, Oh. you will test you're load securement skills! If they pre-tarp like the "Courthouse" be prepared to be greeted by a big pile of unknown, barely secured crap on a flatbed! If you approach it as a challenge you'll be fine, but it will take more than the normal effort to get the load secured properly.

    Its easier to keep your tarps down with straps, even poorly thrown ones. Its hard on the tarps though.

    I usually make around 1100 and 1250 per week. It's fast paced and not for everyone tho. Yes, we get home everyday, but you getting up at 1:30 am on avg...sometimes midnight or sometimes 3 am.
