Sounds like you're getting screwed around pretty good... I'm on the mileage pay since I live in CA and I couldn't be happier. I have the best group of "dispatchers" or ICA's or whatver the hell you want to call them working for me. I run hard, never sit, haven't had a power load/unload in a long time. I get the good runs from CA to Jersey and then back to TX and then back to CA all the time. I may make less since I'm on mileage pay, but I do just fine. It does seem that freight has slowed down, but I'm still making the same money I was and getting the same miles I was last year.

Damn i didn't see the Location lol.. but check with the Henderson, NC Wal Mart Distribution.. If your truck is paid of,f so what i heard you can make a decent penny...

Henderson only do Refeer Loads so the conditions may be better than Gordonsville.. But give them a try..

If you got short hood truck you would do fine getting in and out of stores.. but hey just a suggestion!!

A single O/O cannot get on with Walmart. Even if you get in they pay like .95cpm.

Thankfully I've been approved to go to mercer BUT i know flat bed is very slow right now and i need to wait until it picks up.
You will be waiting a LONG time.

My buddy is/was with Mercer, when he called on Monday 1-26-09 he was told he was #45 on the list, slow isn't the word over there, not only that the rates are low, I have seen lower rates on flats than vans on the Internet Truckstop load board.

Now is NOT the time to be job hopping, rates and freight are down everywhere, no sense being on the bottom of the list at the "new" place.
