    I am not sure yet but we will see can’t be as bad as 1.15 mile and if I am lucky 2600 miles a week.

    Ya no kidding. I wouldn't pull one load at that rate let alone stay there while thinking of getting a better gig.

    Please note he did not have a dollar sign in his post. If hes getting paid in Kuwati Dinars or Bitcoins, its a fantastic rate.

    Saddest part is the carrier is probably grossing more than $1.15 to themselves even after paying the owner operator $1.15 to move the loads.
    Yet the driver is doing the real work, taking on the risk and is paying for the truck.

    I know that for a fact that’s true. It’s so sad they take advantage of us. But some of us take it and that’s on us myself included.
