    If i was making $1700 a week. I'd be doing everything i could to keep that job. That kinda money is hard to come by.

    Is that 1700 weekly or biweekly?

    $1,700 a week X 52 weeks = $88,400 a year.

    I posted that then reread the post and noticed he didn't specify weekly or monthly or what.

    If i lived in your area i would apply in a heartbeat. Although i wouldn't be too thrilled about tarping. Done enough of that that i have no desire to tarp anymore.

    I didn’t read through all 5 pages. I work for a small regional flatbed carrier. Home every weekend, kind of like what you’re describing. We’re paid mileage plus $50 for every load whether it’s a tarp load or not. Loading daily that usually comes out to $5-600 on top of our mileage pay per pay period. Just a suggestion instead of only paying a tarp fee.

    $500/Mo and up for the employee only. A family of 4 will run north of $1,600. That's a lot for any company and driver to absorb.
