    I'm currently over here & thoroughly enjoying it so far. Got my first A/B service done at the shop this past weekend which was done proficiently & the tech answered all questions I had. Paying $0.12 per mile on the warranty took care of the cost. Was on the road for 5 weeks & got 6 days off at home with no issues. Miles are phenomenal if you're ready to ride. Paycheck last week after all expenses was 2600$ I'll try & screenshot for proof. Overall a good experience so far

    I'm doing okay. Home time kills the paycheck but the other weeks I do okay. Usually take home is about $1500-1600. Yes that's lower than the other guy who posted but I'm also in a W900 so my fuel costs are more than someone in an aero truck. I'm cool with that.

    My only complaint with the company is they do have problems with communication at times. But overall I'm not unhappy. I do miss my old company at times. I was pretty spoiled there. Lol! But they're is no perfect company so you learn to work around the problems.

    Awesome! Glad you're doing well. Despite the negative responses, I pulled the trigger and have plans to start orientation next week.

    It's good to hear from current drivers rather than ones that came in expecting a goldmine without putting forth much effort. We all know you have to work in order to make the cheddar. Sounds like Good miles, Pay and Hometime. I am probably going to make the transition myself
     
    r68dove Thanks this.
