    That's a great job for a driver that wants local work.

    Depending on vacation & medicak bennies yeah it’s not a bad deal. I’d definitely listen to what they had to say

    It's not bad. Lots of home time, if that's your thing.

    I’d be more interested in knowing the pay details ... how are you allegedly going to get to this alleged first year income they toss out their like a chew toy. You’ll need specifics if you are going to be fair to yourself as you compare with others.

    You don’t have to share these numbers with us but they shouldn’t guard them like launch codes.

    That’s why you listen to what they have to say. Nobody puts their full pay package breakdown in their advertisments

    Even Walmart advertises $89k 1st year without advertising how you’ll get there. And i think we all agree you can get there at Wamart.

    I’m not saying they should publicly advertise all the pay breakdown. I’m saying a prospective driver should make some phone calls and ask some detailed questions before committing. And no, I have serious doubts about any and all yearly gross numbers all these companies throw out, including and especially Walmart.

    Sounds like a good deal if you want to be home but I believe I would research the company to see what their other drivers are making
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
