    Doesn't seem like a lot. That's about 700 every week before taxes. If it's 0.31cpm. Schneider offered me the 2500 dollar sign on but that's before taxes. I don't really want to go all the way down to Fontana for training. No APUs in the Schneider trucks either but they train OTR for just 8 days compared to 3-4 weeks with Gordon.

    Well on a good week I will take home around $1k and a slow week about $500-600, so not to bad. CPM will be based off of experience. APU's are nice to have when they work.
     
    Lightside Thanks this.

    At the time i got along great with everyone and was told i was in the top 5 for production at indy...i live in tennessee and when i took vacation they told me to clean my truck out. I told them if i did my stuff would not be going back into a gti truck..they changed their minds but while i was on vacation i found another job..got tired of all the celadon/heartland changes.

    Interesting. I know when I worked for Knight, people left there to go to Celadon.

    Well, well. I find myself spending this Sunday night in what used to be my least favorite Pilot, the one nearest the GTI yard in Indy. Not much has changed; it still fills up very quickly and is tight. There are many 109xx Gordon trucks here, too, and all of them are pulling Heartland trailers. If the rumors are right, soon enough there won't be Gordon aquatint-colored trucks.

    And on the way here, I saw a bright, shiny spiffy-looking Gordon truck heading west on I70 while I was heading east. Only it was a very bright red! Not as pretty as the aquatint blue, either.

    I saw 3 new gti trucks piggy backed going west on 40 in knoxville this morning. From what i was told the red signifies a team truck according to heartland...
    the ones i saw were still smurf blue...
