    You can expect to run your 70 out and you might clear $700 a week. Ranks right up there with CR England. Good luck hand!

    How good is your backing game? I wouldn't dare trying some of these stores' parking lots, even after 15 years of trucking.

    You guys MUST be talking a whole lotta' ####. I remember a Werner recruiter coming to my CDL school and telling all of us that it was all peaches and cream.

    If you make it a year... you can expect to be the guy who blindsides that tight spot in the truck stop that nobody else will try...
    Good luck.

    If they offered me $200 a drop and a $1 a mile I wouldn't even consider it
