$15.00 hr.& .30 a mile=Standard Forwarding?? I hope that is the starting wage, or you all must have a different contract in Iowa. A good friend of mine turns Quad Cities from So. Bend and makes a bit more money than that. (Full Scale) It is a good little company to work for though, I believe it is still family owned since its beginnings in 1934.
