    We haven't gotten that because we're on a dedicated account with a guarantee.

    Generally, the hazmat we haul is not enough that it needs a placard. Don't remember what it was.

    I think they pay $10 per stop(I forget)

    They don't cut pay if you run a lot of miles if you're a team. Solo drivers have a sliding pay scale.

    Company trucks have a top speed of 65, lease trucks are 70

    So is better try to jump into dedicated accounts milewise to get lots of miles guarantee? And what about their sign on bonus money. Do you really get that or is it just for drivers with lots of experience? Sorry for lots of questions...

    You will get that sign on bonus

    Regarding the miles, it all depends on you. We like to shower everyday so 5,000 - 6,000 miles a week is fine with us. I know guys who do 7,000 +

    Ask as many questions as you want. We're here to help.
