    Chep pallet $.44 a mile? I hauled 2 Chep loads from the Walmart Marcy NY DC to DePere WI. Those paid 960-980 "Swift" miles. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Must be some new deal.

    I think that's a type of dedicated account. Probably have to be dedicated to it in order to get that CPM.

    Holy Crap!! I'm lucky to search and peck 20 words a minute on a full keyboard setting comfortably at a desk... you do that on a touchscreen??!!

    Hey thanks for this thread, really informative... and I really needed the info.

    Whiz quiz only but most of us out here might prefer you think of a different occupation until you can separate yourself from the environment where drug use is accepted. On the other hand, you have a huge motivation for doing exactly that so who knows?

    The $500 is a loan from Swift to pay for your motel while at school which you will pay back weekly after you upgrade to solo.
