After 18 yrs in the business, as a broker and now a company driver... you'll want a laptop with you at all times. Delays are now the norm everywhere you go. If you are not on a dedicated run where you can make the connections to jump the line, you will be well and truly f&*%$d. As for making money, this is the lowest pay I've ever had, but I no longer own the truck... but average roughly $24/hr (can$). I'm home every day, so it's a tradeoff for more money or more time at home.
