This gives me a gross pay of between $1400.00 and $1800.00 a week depending on stops and where I run. We have health, vision, dental, disability insurance, 401K, vacation, and holiday pay. I drive a 2007 Century mid-liner with auto-shift and a 500 Detroit. And all of our trailers are air ride. Anything else you would like to know.
I lived in Phoenix for five years and would love to move back. I knew about them having Phoenix operations, but the folks at Center Valley were vague about the accounts out there, and a good friend who drives for First Fleet out there thought they ran flatbeds. Go figure. :sad:

Voyager; They do have one account that is flatbed. I don't run that account and most of those trucks are based at the customers location so I never really think about them. It's all local work so they are home every night and I think they get paid around $16.00 per hour, but I'm not sure since it has nothing to do with me.

How fast do their trucks go? |
