Does swift have this out of Lancaster?
This would keep a driver close to home in DFW, right?? -
-
Can anyone provided a job description?
What's a typical day?
The good, the bad?
They are needing folks in Saginaw, TX
This is 20 mins from my house.
Want to understand something about the job before signing up. -
$40 per container and the standard rates for long haul.
Those places are slow in and out, so you wouldn't be doing more than 2 per day - at a guess.
If they are local runs (100 miles there and back?) it wouldn't pay much at all for miles.
Granted, I have no experience with this. But it just doesn't sound that good to me. -
Not really local I'm after..
more a close consistent home base.
I've no prob running cross country.
This would be icing on the cake for me, if I was able to have dinner with family and sleep in my own bed every 2-3 days.
Running laps around DFW would be no fun at all.
Trying to figure out if this laps or otr back and forth from Saginaw. -
If you talk to the dm that handles that account, can't they tell you what their drivers average?
-
The $40/container is actually a big part of my income. We have a couple runs where the zip code to zip code pays 3 miles+$40. Another is Charlotte-Shelby (Wal-Mart or Clearwater) 44 miles+$40. Long runs yes you lose but it does even out. -
Thanks for the info, Kindle.
OTR sounds about the same. Some weeks are really good and some not so much.
Last week I cleared $100, and this week I net nearly $1000.
That is after med insurance and 2 child support payments, totaling ~$350 off the top.
Gross is always much better, which is what many people quote.Kindle Thanks this. -
We got the word the are bringing in 4 more drivers to Charlotte Intermodel, apparently some accounts are increasing. Also some accounts can only be done by Swift drivers, there are some contractors used and they have pissed off a few receivers. Today was long, only about 160 miles but 7 containers. Not too shabby on the $
