    I am out 3 weeks out of the month. I get .40 per mile running teams plus 30.00 per pick up. Each pick up avg time 50 minutes. The miles are paid for total trip miles, not just the miles I drive myself, it includes my partner.

    It is average about 1500 per week. Theres some physical labor loading trailer, and sleeping in a moving truck, driving at all hours, etc. But It's good money for a rookie.

    I dont know if FFE is considered a mega carrier. But they have a CDL school that I attended. Room and 3 meals a day provided. 4000 dollar training bill paid for with 1-year driving commitment.

    Don't mind me. I was just here because of the suspense that carried over from the other thread that you thought you read to this thread that you are thinking you are reading now. I'll back out.
