Just to give you folks a heads up I spoke with the person that is in charge of setting it up two weeks ago. And in the time between then and now. Not a word out of them. They will not return phone call's or e-mail's I don't know about any of you But I would not want to lease on with someone that can not return phone call's.:confused:

Many don't care about the rate per mile, but the total miles. If you fall into that category then here's a guaranteed 2100 miles a week at $1470. If you live in the origin city deadhead would be almost nil and you would be home every weekend.

It's 70cpm plus fsc which was .41cpm when I talked to them so on 2100 miles it would be around $2300. The unknown is whether it's loaded and paid both ways or only paid about 1050 miles. I asked fsc first question and as soon as my location was known that was the end of the call.

How much is the FSC?

At 26cpm it would make the whole trip pay 96 cents per mile. Times 2100 miles, that's $2016.00. If you use the accepted standard 1/3 split, that's $672 each to fuel, van and driver. Might be a tight squeeze with a big van payment.

EDIT: FSC is .41, per LDB. Just the same, the FSC changes with the price of fuel, so you have to be careful not to overspend at the pump.

I don't qualify, so I don't care. However, it might be doable if you're careful. You decide :D

Sorry I should have been more accurate Talked to her,she sent an app, filled it out sent it back, Made 3 calls back to her left msgs no call back and sent e-mails still no reply. So I called it quits with them I can take a hint.

When they stop taking your calls or returning your calls that usually means they are no longer interested in having you come to work for them for what ever reason and it is too much trouble for them to say that to you, it is easier for them to just ignore you. I had the same experience with Bolt
