My truck is smoke free 100%. I forgot to metion a very importanat detail that I very much prefer a non-smoker. I hope that doesn't disqualify too many applicants. Rookie move by me.

I suppose if it came down to the right driver who like to light up outside of the truck that would be ok. I would need to withdraw a deposit of cleaning from the paycheck, though.

I am taking basic information via email. Just checking out the scene over the weekend. Monday I will have an official application once I have narrowed it down to 5 people.

No, I have not filled the position yet. I don't think it will happen until tuesday or so.

I'm the one who just called you from Mississippi about a few minutes ago. I'm just aching to get back on the road, and you sound like the way to get my foot in the door.

Yes, this is a one truck operation for now. I am actually looking for a single driver first. If they come as a team, that is something I will consider. Yes, I am the owner.

In choosing for this position, will it be based on driving only or will you be looking for someone with a business background along with driving?

I would beg to very strongly disagree that you are starting at 2 yrs experience pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10% of $2 a mile is only $0.20 cents a mile. I HAVE NEVER drove a truck for that cheap.

Not to be rude here, but I would be running like the wind away from this job myself. There are so many inconsistencies with the job description it sounds like a good way for the driver to really get the shaft. I've got a lot of alarm bells going off in my head over this one.




And while I agree that % is a good way to generate motivation in a driver its also an extremely good way for the driver to get royally screwed!

You mentioned this is a good paying job. I wouldn't really call the suggested revenue that either.
Over $1200 a week after taxes is good paying. $1100 before taxes isn't any thing to brag about.
It is better than nothing tho.
