Why would a company immediately give a truck driver a sign on bonus upfront? That would be stupid... you will have have guys taking the money and running. Trucking companies play games but I don’t blame them on that one.
@@Joe_Hunt_Musicthe reason why it's called a sign-on bonus is because it's agreed upon when you sign on to the company. You have guys that are working for the company and have been there for years that aren't getting that money cuz it's not a retention bonus.
I will stick with my 420 miles, 4 nights a week job pulling pups. I made $83k last year and after 36 years, I don't want to spend any more time in a truck than I have to. I have always been local and can't imagine living in a truck.
I’m gonna get rid of my apartment then go otr for a few years, just to save all that money for a down payment for a house. If I was paying rent otr, it would 100% not be worth it at all
.70c pm is actually the standard now lol .80 and .90 is now common for dedicated fleets. For o/o the ones I know don't drive for less then 3$ a mile lol anything less and your working for free or at a loss
GP transco claims they are the 3rd highest paying carrier in the nation, but after working there for 2.5 years, I found that the POTENTIAL is there but most of the time you're stuck with dispatchers and planners that don't know how to do anything but follow a flowchart. They spend as much on marketing as they do on their assets, but spend as little as possible in the middle
It's always worth finding out what you need to do to earn those "up to" numbers. You can earn over $3,000 a week as a company driver pulling dry vans at Western Express if you're at max rate, you're a trainer, you're close to your manager AND your manager is able to consistently set you up and nothing goes wrong along the way. And also don't expect to do that every week, you still might have a rough week that comes out
I work for Schneider National and i get .75 flat Plus.05 on fuel consumption. 10 per hour on duty not driving and 18 more per load. I run a average 2800 miles a week and bringing home around 1600 bucks after tax so i can't complain at all but i can assure that good paying jobs still out there.
Are you OTR or on a dedicated account ? I also drive for Schneider 4yrs plus . If you're not comfortable answering here ,I don't have an issue with giving you my mobile number , stay safe driver !!!
As a milage worker for Halvor Lines if you’re training drivers you get $.87 a mile as a flatbed driver trainer after three years with the company guaranteed $.75 per mile to start out as a trainer
I make $0.85 a mile. No cap. Plus $30 per stop extra. I usually do 26 to 3300 mi per week, out 3 weeks then go home for the weekend maybe 4 days. That's my choice. Great respect for people that I work for. Best truck driving job I've ever had!!!
@xzavierparker8244 it's a small company out of Illinois. 60 or so trucks. Don't know if they want me putting their name on here, but it's real. Plus it's slow and I'm not sure if they're hiring. If I had a way I could send their name to you directly.
@@klevasole1763lmao of course it's from Chicagoland... that means you are definitely violating HOS daily, definitely illegally classified as a 1099 independent contractor when you are 5000% a company employee, definitely pulling just brokered freight with live loads/unloads and lastly definitely working for the typical Eastern European who lies, cheats and steals on a daily basis. These things almost always end as a serious train wreck. I would not want to be a part of that for any amount of pay. Not worth it and I have better standards for myself
@@WestCoastTruckingCEO you must be from California were they can't have independent contractors. No, I never run illegally and even have to call the office to get my PC turned on and only when I arrived to a s&r. Or unloaded. But yep, definitely European run, but also definitely good people, so hey homes, you do what you want to, in good
I can tell u estes express lines who I work for pay between 70 to 80 some cents a mile (depends on seniority) maxed at 2-3yrs i believe ....I'm a p&d driver in Pennsylvania making almost 34$an hr so first listing seems legit
If you want to know were the big money is for o/o go talk to the guys with the big custom sleepers . Or 6 axles or more. The high dollar government loads you will never see. Yes the dod loads . My neighbor wont move his truck unless it's 20000 or more to ca. Round trip 40 thousand dollars on 4000 thousand miles. 7 axles setup . The load has to be watched 24 hours runs team with his wife. I love the company that tell you can gross 8 to 10 grand a week what they don't your going to run 3 to 35 hundreds miles a week. . The load i am right gross is 5200 net is 4250 on 1530 miles take home 3200 in the bank to me monday to monday i will run 2600 miles and take home 4700 dollars . 33 years in this business you learn a few things.
Hi Ronen, do you have an opening for a former Operations Manager (2 years experience), who used to manage a Platinum Transportation operation (using 5 Superlink truck/trailers)? I also have 1 year experience as a Fleet Manager prior to being promoted to Operations Manager. Only Heavy Duty driving experience is 3 years as a school bus driver (zero incidents, not even a traffic fine).
I generally make around 70 a mile I will not go under 60 If someone says they're paying up to 55 I don't even bother to talk to them Or under $80,000 Not worth my time And I don't want to drive a truck that can't do 70 mph And I need 5 days for 3 plus weeks out
I have 11 years over-the-road I've been driving big trucks since I was 15 So I got over 30 years driving big trucks No accidents no speeding tickets no nothing When I'm on the road all I want to do is go go go When Iran outlaw I would average between 700 and 800 miles a day top running day was over 900 miles lol Good thing for paper logs hahaha
@@keithmorgan4883 that's why I don't work for most truck companies If I'm going to run the Midwest I need to be close to the speed limit I don't spect the truck to do 75 or 80 or 85 to keep up with the speed limit Anyting under 70 miles an hour is a pay cut
I understand why companies want you to have two years driving experience but how is someone who can’t get hired on to a company if you can’t even get the two year worth of experience under your belt
Gas hauler here, we make $70-$120,000 per year. Depending on how many hours you want to work. Home every day with 2 full days a week off. It’s the best paying trucking job I’ve had in 30 years. No more living in a damn truck either!
As a local driver in Seattle metropolitan area I always looking for just pay by hour. For local jobs I highly recommend to looking for hourly rates. Mentally of passengers cars goes down I truck driver deals with crazy situations. Actually, it's seems people doing on the roads whatever they wants. Loose money just for someone breaking the laws is not for me personally.
My company pays me 1.95 cpm as a company driver. 75 dollars for each trailer I drop and hook, witch is 15 per week. In 2733 miles per week.If I break down I get 125 dollars per hour .they match dollar for dollar up to 95%.they pay me for beings on the great insurance plan. 30 paid holaday per year. Firts year you earn 50 week paid vacation.
The sign on bonus should be payed out in 3-5 months. The pay after orientation doesn't make business sense. What's to stop someone from just quitting soon as the bonus is in hand. There's a reason it exists the way it does. They tried that in the past and it didn't work the bad actors messed it up for everyone. They literally made a job of ogling the women at orientation then eating the lunch. Staying in hotels and collecting bonus and then on to the next one. No i don't agree with his take on that.
Great information. I'm a recently laid off city P&D driver out-of Chicago l worked for Holland for 26 years. I know your first listing DAYTON FREIGHT is legitimate. They are a good company. I'm troubled by all the garbage trucking companies out today. I will be cautious about what I do in the future or I will just give up on Trucking at 56 years of age it's not a good position to be in. Thanks for opening my eyes to what is out here..
I'm a Foreign Indian Trucker. I'm also a successful OO. Most Indian Truckers are OO who proudly wear Flip Flops. No one in North America and beyond will come close to savvy business tactics we Indians have. We see North American born Truckers as low ly Company drivers who used to Flip burgers and ex Cons. These company drivers start making alitte bit of mullah and they think they can hang. Please get back in line.
The highest paying trucking job is being a freight broker selling loads to all these dummy drivers hauling for fuel money rates.
Well, brokering is not exactly a "trucking" job, so there's that, dummy.
How i get in
😂🤣😭😭🥴
@@LookAtLilDudeshould be a school for that.
Ya, but you can save 50-100k a year living in your truck. Best possible route for someone with no assets, do otr for a few years, then go local
Too many vehicles on the US highways nowadays...hourly pay is a must
With GPS available, these companies can do it
