Cost of living doesn't equal to what you make. If you go there you only want a dedicated account

Otr truck driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They will run you They have the freight Technology is A-1 Trucks are fairly new Great communication Fleet is mostly automatics

Cons

They will short you miles on a trip they don't pay actual mileage on truck but you use a computer system called Randall McNally and that system shorts you 30 to 40 miles per trip which adds up over time Sliding pay scale They take money out of your check for everything Very sneaky pay attention to your pay stub They enroll you in a 401k and you have to opt out every year to not get deducted for 50 to 60 bucks. I wonder how many drivers look at there pay stub and know they are been robbed.

They are not what they advertise

Solo reefer driver

Pros

I got a sleep study and CPAP machine to use for free.

Cons

They refused to break a company policy to get me home in a timely manner after the untimely death of my wife. I did not wish to leave my personal gear in California and take a flight home to make it easy for them to pilfer through my gear and steal me blind!
