    Cute trucks get an extra 5cpm. Extra drops for solo drivers on the reefer side are $20, according to my tnt trainer. Flatbed extra drops are $25 per drop. The first n past do not count. The fuel bonus is progressive. The higher your mpgs, the higher the rate. I don't know the rate off hand though.

    O there's a lot more than this once your solo lol Like.... How much of my clock will I run, where am I going to stop, when do I send to get fuel, what roads am I going to be taking, and right now my major one, where in the world is this place?! Lol. Those are just a few things that come to mind. There's a lot to running a truck, even just as a company driver. Your responsible for the safety and security of almost $200,000 worth of equipment, and that's not including the load. There's a ton of laws you must abide by, even more on flatbed side. It's well worth it though.

    Haven't found it yet, but not looking yet either. I'm still a few hundred miles away, and cant drop til tommorow within n 8 hour window. I want to go in when traffic won't be as bad. I hate going to Miami, n this town might as well be in Miami

    I've used everything I can to find this road qc wants me to take, but cant. So well find our own way. Not taking the toll road though.
