What about CalArk?
Anyone got the skinny on CalArk? All I can find at their website is their recruiting number and I don't want to call them without some knowledge beforehand. I see their trucks all the time, but, never talked with any of their drivers.

HHG (Household goods) pay is the way most companies paid their drivers up until recently. Basically it screwed you out of 7% to 10% of the miles you drove.

HHG miles is a generic estimate of a trip from point a to point b. Practical pays from port to port.
I get paid by HHG miles, but I also pull HHG

[quote="jedfxg"]what is pay of HHG?[/quote
HHG miles is the shortest distance between two zip codes. The route is on every pig trail thru the woods and is impossible to run in a big truck. There are exceptions, I have made some runs at the paid HHG miles and on a couple run them in less miles, but that is a very rare occurance. For the most part I drive 5-6% more miles that what I am paid for. But it is all relative....one company might pay practical route miles but pay a penny or two less, where a company that pays HHG miles will be a little higher. I don't know how you compare for better or worse. I am sure that this will open up a can of worms here.

Seems that all those who have knocks to put on C. R. England forgot to mention the fact that CRE pays on LESS THAN HHG miles. They take the Rand-McNally miles and deduct (usually) about 6% from THAT. Every once in a great while, I was able to beat the miles I got paid for, but, like I said...once in a GREAT while. The only time you're going to get practical miles is when you're pulling a ld that can't go off the interstate at a shorter mileage. Sacramento to Cleveland is a good example.
Usually, though, you are going to end up losing between 100 and 150 miles fo a 1000mi ld.
