[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 5218141, member: 68552"] I’m an RTD. it’s next to impossible to find another tractor trailer job that doesn’t beat this pay lol. We’re one of if not [B]the[/B] lowest, slowest paying class A CDL gigs in the country. Benefits are middle of the road. Vacation is decent if you never leave. But not that great.
