Just wanted to update everyone on a something. I have landed a job hauling flat bed for E.W. Wylie out of Fargo, ND. Pay is .39 a mile (Practial) Driving a 2006 Mack Vision. Home every other weekend if not every weekend. No forced dispatch. No slip seating. Sounds like a very good deal. Hope everyone out there had a very good holiday season.

Ok lets see.
Covenant: 3-6 months experience: .38 0-500 mile trip .32 501-900 miles .28 over 900 miles. EW Wylie 39 cpm all miles. Right there you are 1 cpm ahead of the game. Convenat pay HHG miles which basically comes out to mean for every 1000 real miles you drive you get paid for 800 EW Wylie pays practical which means for every 1000 miles you drive you will end up being paid for about 950-980 of them. Ok so once again how do you think you will make more money?????
