I averaged around 3200 miles a week..the CPM pay wasn't great but I brought in good checks..orientation was pretty good (3 days) but they fed you very well , they'd bring in a good hot meal for lunch and a voucher at a dang good restaurant for supper...and yes I had read some of the horror stories but talked to a few drivers on the road that were happy..all I know is they treated me OK ..I ran Chicago instead of NYC.and would make the same choice now...they putty much done what they said they would...only had 1 heated discussion with my FM..I will say this I put in call to safety to try to get me some extra hrs for a drop..they checked my eld and asked me to take a 34 seems I'd been otr a month or better and was running at about 4000 miles for a few weeks..it was the right call I had just been busy and didn't realize how tired I'd become...so take it for what it's worth to you my time there was good...you'll find good and bad in most outfits...but heck I'm old so I kept my left door closed and my knees in the breeze..never caught em lying to me and my pay was always right...that means a lot to me...hope you found a good gig for yourself..?
