    I believe Swift does the majority of kmart loads. Maybe Werner as well. I think Monterey boats, the boat builder in Williston does their own hauling. They used to have a fleet of Intl 9200I's.

    I live in Dade City and am working at Heartland. Plenty of freight into and out of Fla and decent pay.

    Before I took on the job I have now, I was considering Watkins Refrigerated out of Lakeland. They were advertising for their Tropicana account which has you running inside the state and a Texas dedicated. It starts out at .38 cpm and $18 for any non driving time.

    Well the reality is about 73% of the people that you are referring to net 600.00 a week or less. Some work at very hard manual labor jobs and make way less money than we do. I understand your thoughts on us being away from home and I do think compensation is in order. I know this is going to piss some people off but we make good money for what we do. We are in an industry where you can work with a 3rd grade education and in your first full year make around $43,000. Some collage graduates that owe all that money for collage only make around $32,000 their first year out of collage. What I have seen is if we work and make 400.00 a week ,we live on 400.00 a week. If we start making 1000.00 a week , we start living on 1000.00 a week. The secret is if you live on 400.00 a week and then start making 1000.00 a week keep living on 400.00 a week. I just point this out because my mom raised 3 boys by herself with no child support and no welfare and she was a waitress all her life. I have been driving for 20 years now and have always made good money
