There are some sort of rule at most compaines like 40% idle time.. I can tell you it is not all bad and they have apu heaters in the summer they do not expect you to roast..

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..
