Trying to get current input to decide if it is worth switching. I'm at 6 months experience and pay ranges from. .26-.34 cpm depending on distance. Central says I 'll get .30 cpm for west coast deliveries and .32 cpm for east cost deliveries. Jb hunt offers more, but what they say seems too good to be true.
Worth switching ?

Anywhere would be better then that .26 cpm nonsense. If you have experience then mark Central off your list. They are for beginners and trapped leased operators. Find a company that pays the same cpm no matter the length of haul. You should atleast be making .34 cpm no matter what.

I agree. You should be getting more. Make sure the offers you consider are valid. I went to one company who said .41 but was actually .36 and the other .05 was BONUS pay if you was willing to run illegal for them.

Olympian and Green-eyed Lady Thank this.

You could consider heartland express too but it's gonna depend on the miles you get a week isn't it
-
.40/mile x 3000mi/wk = $1200/wk
But...
.40/mile x 2200mi/wk = $880/wk
Be sure they can run you a decent amount of miles.
Also...
Consider layover pay, breakdown pay, penalties for idling when temps get < 20 degrees,
Home time if you need it, health insurance pkg., life insurance $$, etc.
There are numerous things to consider. It's not all about the CPM, but I'm in agreement with the other posters...26cpm is absurd.Lady K and Moving Forward Thank this. -
To specifically answer your question...It is DEFINITELY worth switching!!!
-
Isn't JB Hunt strictly a union shop?

So is it. 2 weeks notice , 1 week notice, or no notice when leaving a trucking job?
