    Technically you only have to drive 10,000 for the salary 12,000 if you want a productivity bonus.

    Most of us do really like it seems, i run into other Shipex drivers all the time that really like it. Which is unusual. It's not for everyone i have seen a few leave and some are skeptical at first. It takes awhile to get use to salery pay for some of us.

    Been awhile....still here just been running. I am in Perrysburg at the Flying J deliver in the morning and then home for some r and r and a mini vacation to the truck show in Louisville. Got a few things to take care of at home and I should be back out next Thursday. 14,116 miles...not bad for the first month I guess doesn’t seem like it.

    After I come back, I am going to see if I can go somewhere else because I am suffering I-80 fatigue.

    The good news for Shipex drivers...doesn't matter how crappy I 80 gets in the winter. They shut down and still get paid. They also have a no chain pollicy. These are the things that caught my attention with Shipex. No, I don't drive for them.

    It does seem like a lot of miles in one month. Congrats on that driver.

    Lol 14,000 is pretty awesome, nice bonus with that! Congrats!

    looks like I'll be in the 12,500 range. Not to bad for going home and getting shut down in WY for 2 days.

    It isn’t that bad, get paid for a lot of sitting and shutting down because of the weather

    Yeah I really like that aspect because for so long i ran and ran stressing if I was going get enough miles to cover the bills. It takes a lot of stress off the driver.

    We might run a lot of miles but when you can't it's not a big deal.
