Good company that runs all 48?

Joe
you might check out Quality Carriers. They'll train you on their tankers(think its about 5 days). The good thing is they are all over but each terminal is different so you can pick the one that suits you. Suggest you check out running %. Great part is ALL COMPANY LOADS NO BROKER. sometimes in ca you may have to sit but they pay well for it. bro in law runs ks-tx-ca-mo-nc-ks. good run for him. he stays out aslong as he wants then takes a week off. hope it helps.

 

Seems like the projected pay won't add up with them unless you adding in a good amount of load unload fees. They only start newbies at 28 cpm that would take 153,571 miles first year 2953 per week if you run 52 weeks. Seems a little inflated to me for running solo. Probably more relastic number would be $38,000 first year.

Brickman do you know the industry average first year pay? Like I said my guess would be $34,000 to $38,000 after training and running solo.

 

Wonder where a person could a legimate list of starting salaries to compare to.

 

Howdy, I am a newer driver for W/S and have been kept running. The mileage is pretty close I have been running between 2500-3000 miles a week. Only on the west coast though. They do run east though and have lots of freight back east. I just talked to a driver last night that did a solo west to east then east to west last week so it happens but they do try to give those loads to teams. There is a fuel bonus which runs $100 a month or more if you use thier suggest fuel stops which are usaly Pilots, TA, Love or Flying J's so not bad. There is a $100.00 or so monthly safety bonus as well. They so a lot of staples runs which pay $25.00 a stop and usally there are 3-4 stops on a run. So it adds up pretty quickly. I am not sure what it will work out to be in the long run but it has been good for me so far. We also do pier 1 imports which pays $55.00 a stop. This is all had unload though so it kinda sucks. The staples aren't bad all you do is balance the pallets as they unload them.
I have enjoyed working at W/S and would recommend them.
