    No I was wondering if it was them. Didn't know fulger has a USA division. I would describe fulger as mediocre, all the way around. The carrier to work for, for Russians, polish folks, etc. in the Windsor area.

    Comparable?

    Yes, there are some. But it seems to me, correct me if I’m wrong, you have a turn around gig that averages $2 a mile. And you’re not having to put a lot of thought into it. I know guys that would kill for that.

    You go to Landstar, or anywhere else. You’re going to be working for it. But of course there will be higher paying loads, right beside the lower paying loads.

    The money is there if you apply yourself. But the gig you have seems pretty sweet to me. Others will see it differently. But that’s okay too.

    Yea they got a US division a couple years ago I guess. I was a company driver for a year first. Averaged between 17-1800 gross per week. And yes, very mediocre lol and it's not Russian or polish, its Romanian owned and operated. Our night time dispatch is IN Romania lol

    Ahh ok. Eastern Europe. Our version of a Chicago company lol

    I think you have an ok deal as far as the gross goes. Are they giving you the fuel discount also? I will never figure out why lots of companies do their best to complicate the payment system or try to get people into their own trucks with some weekly payment arrangement. There is so much opportunity for just plain straight shootin' in this industry..

    Do you have your own reefer or hauling theirs?
