    HI All

    I got a job offer from a company out in Georgia. He offered me 60 cents a mile to jockey bobtail and class b trucks around the country. The miles of course like they all say is between 2000 and 3000 per week. I would have to buy gas and when there wasn't a sleeper on the truck I would have to pay for my own lodging. What do u guys think?

    Nappin

    You are kidding? April Fools day was 4 days ago...
    I think the phrase "Go pound sand" comes to mind.

    I am assuming it is also a 1099 position as well. Hmm, you pay all the expenses of a drive away, and he most likely pockets upwards of $1.20/mi. after paying you.

    Plus you have to pay your own way back? (bus/airplane ticket? hitchhike?) Won't be anything left after you do that and pay the fuel and lodging. In fact, you'll probably end up losing in the deal most trips. Run far, run fast.

    Let's do the math shall we...
    2,500 mile avg @ $.60 = $1,500
    Fuel avg 10mpg @4.00/gal =$1,250
    Hotel= $50/night...

    Go for it ...
