I recently moved to Indianapolis and although I heard great things about the city I never heard anything about the large trucking companies and just how popular the city was for trucking schools and companies. Needless to say I kept seeing "Celedon Now hiring" Free CDL... etc and I finally gave them a call and while the conversation sounded promising I questioned it after I hung up. I questioned the pay agreement. (.17/cpm team drivers) + (avg 5-6k/mpw) = (850.00$) correct? After talking to numerous people they all said the same thing "DON'T GO, DON'T GO" I guess my question is.. "is celedon a good company for team driving" and "is the pay what's promised"?
Celedon, Celedon, Celedon....

.17? That can't be right.
-
.17 would be for all miles driven by both drivers, so .34 per mile driven by each driver if both drove equal miles.
That would/should be starting pay, and it would get better with time.
And that is really good starting pay. -
Yes, split is .17. It's only people have told me that Celedon is no good?
-
Good is a subjective term.
A lot better companies in Indy.
Anyone who is anyone has a yard there.
Be sure and do yourself justice by exploring thoroughly.
That american furniture on the bypass has some nice volvos on their new paved lot.
I'd take a look at them. Seems they are expanding. -

Celadon has a nice dedicated team route to laredo and back to Indy.
That's a nice easy trip.
Swing by the house if need be.
Better deal for you than most.
But do that homework. -
I've never worked for Celedon.
I want to interject one statement, though; if I may; every Celedon driver I've ever met has been well put together, kind, willing to help others, but above all professional.Lux Prometheus Thanks this. -
I just started with American Furniture Warehouse in Gilbert, Az. If you already have a license and some experience and a good safety record and work history, they are a top-notch Private Fleet. They put us in a 2015 KW T680, governed at 75mph, with no idle restrictions. They pay 48cpm (split) hub miles, which means Every mile the wheels turn. The accessorial pays are good. ($15 per hr. for any activities like orientation, meetings, training, pee tests, renewal physicals, detention, etc.) The benefits are good, we're told to expect 5500 miles per week. And it's not a b.s. OTR Irregular-route For-Hire Contract Carrier sticking it to you.. BTW, did I mention that I left Celadump to work here..

You can make more money at other companies. We work at US Xpress .48 CPM(.24 cpm split), making $1,000 - $1,500 gross. They hire drivers with no experience. Whatever company you go with....get on a dedicated account. That's where the consistent $$$ is.
