to all end dump haulers...

Thanks.
I told them I would stay out a couple weeks at a time this time of the year.
OTR goes pretty much anywhere and everywhere best I can tell. They seem to have a lot of local and regional work as well.

 

@Tall Mike what's your lightweight on that set up? Definitely looking large, I know a lot of what we haul is tonnage based so I was actually pretty upset when they gave me the anthem with the Tri-Pac on it because it brought my empty weight up to 32,600, didn't feel so bad when a CDJ rolled up on the scale ahead of me nearly 35,000!

 

34360 with full fuel.

It is a bit heavy I thought.

 

Are you guys paid on percentage as company drivers? What can one expect to make in a week as a company driver and also as an owner operator?

 

I'm payed percentage. I'm in my 1st week with the new company. The pay won't be anywhere near what I made hauling cars.

 

I’m percentage based, I’d say most of us are. I work out of Florida so my pay probably isn’t quite as much as other parts of the country, as far as O/O’s go, the majority of them are percentage as well, Oakley out of Arkansas however pays mileage.

 

I loaded graphite out of western Arkansas going to central Ohio for Monday.

This load was scheduled for delivery today but a leaking air bag on the trailer messed that up. No big deal we'll get thru it.

 

Sure is purty hope it all works out for ya

 

Thank you.

 

Yep % here as well. I think the only owner ops we got in the room are @Arctic_fox and @NightWind when she comes around. They might be able to talk to about that side of pay and how they charge and what’s a good rate on stuff, cuz honestly I have no idea.
