Im trying to see if any hirschbach drivers can give a lil input on them. the posts ive read on here are some what older other than the lease guy saying that its not looking good (it is a lease not too many of them look good) especially in this economy

they are a good outfit

are you driving with them what type of trucks are the trucks in pretty good condition do you run all over or are you in a certain region what are your avg lengths of haul

i did work for them in 2004, i left to take a local position. they have volvo trucks and the lease/purchase was not bad, at the time was getting 0.96cpm with 3000mi a week.

Here is some info I got on how they pay.
60+ months experience 36 cpm.
on loads of 1550 miles or more drivers pay will be reduced by .5 cents per mile. WHAT!!!

Owner Operators, .92 cpm on loads of 0-1150, .89 cpm on loads of 1151-1550
.85cpm on loads of 1550 + Are they smoking crack?? Or maybe they think we are.

a reduction if the load is 1500 miles or more? what is the reasoning behind that? the more miles the less pay so it would be better to do a few 400 or 500 mile trips

Thats the info they sent me when I called them. If the forum would let me I would scan the info and post it but I don't think they would allow that.

I have been checking with many Company's out there, too see what their programs were. For the last 6 years I have been doing oil field work and doing good but with the down turn I have been sitting at home more than working. So as I have talked to a lot of these outfits after they hear some of the questions I ask they don't want to talk to me any more.
I think they are only looking for new guy's that don't know enough yet, that they can take advantage of them. you would think the rotten SOB's were load brokers.

Y'all will love this J.B. Hunt recruiter called me, And let me tell you this guy was smooth. And what he was telling me about sounded good till I asked the magic question what does it pay to the truck. Are you ready 57%!!!!!
And before my brain engaged my mouth did, and it just came out. Do you think I am stupid!! Well he hung up on me. lol
But I think I have found what I'm looking for. Going back to tanker yanking.

Sure go ahead and scan it
Just remove any personal info and or phone numbers or links
