    Not bad for a first year but as an experience d driver the pay is there per mile but those are awfully low miles....that's like a 3 day week.

    Glad your happy and they are treating you well.

    Really? A three day week? Flatbed? Maybe so. Of course, we're not a long haul company, & are rarely under a load more than a day. Pick it up, drop it the next A.M. Think that has something to do with it?

    I was just busting your chops....I tried to avg 3k a week pulling a flat.

    Im averaging 3513 a week with this tank behind me.

    45k isn't too bad for a first year though.

    Its great but I do little to no physical work and being a younger guy that kinda gets to me...in the warmer months at least.

    Well, bein an older guy (will be 50 next month) the physicality of flatbed is...well...actually it's been really good for me so far. Lost some pounds I didn't need (not that I was all that big, just a bit if a spare tire), & look like I've started workin out again! Yep, just getting paid to workout & drive around. lol
