At last count it cost on average about 2.25 per hour to idle a big truck

from what the bean counters tell us where I work.

Easy to see where the numbers could get really big over a fleet of trucks

idling night after night.

I did about a year ago. There starting pay was more last year and i heard there buying 9 speeds, but there a pretty good outfit compared to these other startup companies. Better pay per mile, 100% lumper pay and no touch, better equipment. Dry side just does I-5 pretty much and the reefer side is just random but good miles. I still have 3 friends that have been with them for 2 years

starting pay was 32cpm and after 1 year they bumped you too 36cpm. Now they start you at 30cpm and bump you to 34 after 1 year., not the same. 2 are out of payette and 1 is out of brooks. The 2 drive reefer and get 3000 + a week and the other runs I-5 from sacto to washington.

WRONG they start you at 34 after a year move you to 36.. But some of the pay is based on what you have..
