    do you ever run into any of the flatbed guys? Hear what type of miles they are getting? The equipment (trailers) just as bad?

    cam9457...

    Without getting to personal (prying), how on earth are you only receiving double digit weekly pay checks; as in $30.xx or $60.xx? Exactly where, without getting too personal, is the money going, or, is there not enough mileage given? Seriously, please provide more details as to why the weekly pay is so low.

    Maybe I missed something? :-/

    As it is now, what I am getting from your postings, with regard to the low weekly pay-checks, is that your Net pay check is thirty ($30) or sixty ($60) dollars a week. One (1) of the obvious questions is how do you survive to the next weekly pay-check (assuming said check arrives on time)?

    I must be missing something; please enlighten me.
