    This would be my guess
    Dedicated Lewiston Lease
    = Tolls and lots of Traffic
    = $$$$$$$$$ you don't get
     
    postmandav Thanks this.

    I talked to a Marten Driver this morning out of the Shelbyville,TN Walmart account & he said he grosses anywhere from 1300-1500 a week depending on how long he stays out.
    Can someone confirm if this accurate or close to it, thanks.

    You might want to ask on the Marten board. None of us here are privy to that information. I did that and better when I was on the account when Prime had it, but our pay structures are different.

    He should have locked the tandems and dropped the air pressure in the tires by 20 psi and pull right out!

    I think the best part of this is that those u turns are completely doable. Illegal and if caught would get me fired, but doable.

    Can't fix stupid though. Or maybe can. Weed them out one u turn at a time

    I believe that. There's a guy with a Marten thread posting his statements, company driver. Doesn't get a bunch of miles, or sometimes does, but gets a truckload of detention & layover pay. His take home after taxes & insurance is $1,000 + or -.
