Considering CTL - any thoughts?

1125/week real good

 

I worked for them locally in Tampa 1998-1999, home daily. 4 loads a night, $100 a night, 2.5 it would take round trip per load. Newbies start at night, which I did not mind as less traffic. I checked into them again in 2012, the pay is the same. $500 a week in 1999 was barely making it, for 2015, can't live on it. Slip seating, which means you share the truck with another person. If you are over the road, the truck is yours to care.
If they do indeed pay $1125 weekly, get in in writing because most starter trucking companies don't pay that much, realistically $700-850 a week for rookie drivers. Still comes out to over 35000-40000 yr.
Check GLASSDOOR website on this company for your location and see if any reviews from current/former drivers. Just like you would do research on a new car, check other sources and hope they are legit & honorable on the salary.

Let us know if you do indeed get that much if you accept the position.

 

is this LTL?

 

Ctl is comcar. Same as ccc ct and i cant remember the other lol. I highly doubt its 1100 or even near that. Prob closer to 800 avarage.

 

My trainer claims on avarage he makes 1100 a week.......as a trainer lol. We did 4 loads today at 50$ a piece not including untarping pay

 

Working for them in 2009 was an experience indeed. Its a starter company, and for someone to start with tankers with the goal of van or other doesn't make sense. When I was there the pay was minimal and the miles low. It didn't change much even after a year. But I owe starting there to now be more happily self employed as a lease operator with vans....so much nicer, cleaner and safer.
