    I don't think they hire in jersey, even though they go to hunts point every week.

    A good friend of mine runs for them, said its hands down the best company he has ever driven for. And he makes decent money, between $700 and a grand a week. He said the way they are treated offsets the lower cpm.

    Yea I see what your sayin.I pulled a tank for lone star milk trans at .30cpm and was cool with the low pay but when their bullshinola increased an increased it was no longer worth the low pay.hunts point alone isn't worth 30cpm no matter how nice the truck is,but,this is my opinion only. Problem with people is that they do what other people want or think they should do instead of following their own desires,good luck to ya...wave when u pass me hauling kevin harvick.

    I run team for western and I fully intend to retire from here. Here you are treated as a person not a number. I just passed my 1yr mark with them and am on track to clear 50k. We have nice equipment, great dispatchers, a safety department that is not out to screw you, truck wash every week. Free laundry at the terminal. If you are in a area were you don't have shower credits they will pay for 2 showers a week.

    So yea the .30cpm may seem low but even after all my deductions I'm still clearing 700-900 a week.

    Western will run you 3k+ a week while jbs might be 2k or below. Plus companies like these pay you for little things drops, layovers etc. I've heard this from.people that work there. Sometimes treat ment out weighs cpm. Runnin 3k+ in.a 70+ mph truck makes it easier too. Some drivers get home a lot too.
     
    bobthesailor and jomar68 Thank this.
