    When I talked to Bennett a couple of years ago, they were paying $1/mile. Driver pays for fuel, lodging, and transportation to and from the origin and destination. Driver was required to deck the trucks (unpaid time), which included getting them all bolted together, removing the axle shafts, and installing the temporary mud flaps and rear lights. Driver provides their own tools.

    I always wondered that. If they dont get paid more than average then they are fools. I haul reefer and dry loads and typically my loads are worth roughly 50k-150k or so. Hauling brand new trucks that is easily half a mil right there.

    Well I'm guessing they have to be making some type of money if they are doing it it

    It appears to be a very small niche in this industry. I hardly ever see those guys.
