Depends on the dropzone, I have a friend flying for 10.00 a load, not bad on a busy Saturday...sucks on a rainy Sunday. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asmund 0 #31 January 20, 2008 I get $15/load with no monthly guarantee. Comes out to between $300/month to $900/month at best (busiest). I've gotten offers from other DZs, one offer of $500/week minimum with $10/load and housing provided in a trailer at the property for only $75/month. Another place offered me $10/load with no minimum guarantee (they said: get another job in the city!!).I like subway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickjump1 0 #33 January 20, 2008 Ever thought of cargo like Fed Ex or UPS? The pax don't whine. The US Army accepts applicants without a degree. Met a lot of airline captains who started that way. Reserve or guard is a way to suppliment your income. Just be prepared to visit strange and intriguing places.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
