170 bucks a day to be otr and fingerprint the loads....where do i sign up?

[sbatson]

Ok here is the deal, $150 a day M-F OTR (Texas, New Mexico, Ok and sometimes to Ohio) $170 after 90 days 6 to 7 stops a day and have to unload with my helper, its a day cab and I stay in hotel every night we deliver to Home depots and personal customers houses and the day length vary, trailers are 48,53,57 and every so often doubles and I'm paid 1099 so no taxes (dont like that idea) and I have to drive a hour to the shop on Monday and back home on Friday. My other deal is to go with Central Refrigerated OTR (Month in traning period and home every 2 weeks). What do you think?

I guess my other thing is would I make this kind of money OTR for a big company?

[Orangetxguy]

Is this job the one at DART that you were asking questions about ??

[sbatson]

No its with a company called Thompsons Trans out of Austin, Tx and I guess they are a small company that runs fright for Cardinal and all the fright is cabinets that are special ordered.
