$0.49 starting out, with the potential for bonuses (which sound attainable from this thread) along with extra pay for hazmat loads sounds really good, along with their very lenient unlimited home time policy. If you don't mind, I have a few questions:
1. I'm in the Charlotte area, I read on this thread that you guys have a terminal or a drop lot in Greensboro, NC? Where are your other terminals and drop lots other than the Fargo/Greensboro NC one?
2. I read on this thread that you guys fuel at Pilot and Flying J. Is that still correct? No fueling at Loves (that's where I like to fuel and shower)? Are the fuel stops mandatory or can you fuel anywhere, as long as it's the approved fueling chain?
3. It was mentioned all trucks come with APU's and inverters, do they come with a fridge or no? XM radio or anything like that?
4. Someone mentioned they never feel rushed with the loads here - How tight do they run your load schedules? For example, do you have to start your clock every single day when your 10 hour break is up? I usually stay out for 1 month at a time and run on recaps, though I would prefer a 34 midway through the month, but that said I get too burnt out if I'm having to start my clock when my 10 is up each day. I don't mind doing it some days out of the week, but in normal circumstances I like to have 3-4 days where I take an 11 or 12 hour break before I start my day.
5. What would you estimate the drop/hook versus live load/live unload percentage is?
6. I think I read on this thread that they normally don't send you past New Jersey - Is this correct? What states do you guys run do you ever go out West? Or are your lanes the same as what's on the "Open Positions" map on the company website: Open Positions - Magnum Companies
7. On that company website map Open Positions Map, how are the dotted cities different than the Magnum OTR hiring area on the map? Do those cities have terminals or something?
8. Last but certainly not least, how many years or miles do Magnum keep their trucks before they trade them in for new ones? How often does the company usually buy new ones and do they do it where they'll just buy a whole new fleet of new ones all at once, or is it like a steady and consistent slow trickle?The_Great_Corn Thanks this. -

2. we only fuel at Pilot/flying J fuel at any of these locations, your discretion on which ones. No fuel solutions or routings just use pilot flying j.
3. APU and fridge in all trucks. Xm is installed in the touch screen you have to pay for it if you want it.
4. They run you the way you want to run. Rarely do you have to take exactly a 10 hour break. If you like resets they let you get them. If you like running recaps they will run you that way.
5. 80% live unload live load.
6. New Jersey is the most northeasterly area we run. We Do the PNW. We Do not do California. Dispatch is pretty much out from ND/MN and then return. Out of ND and MN no forced Dispatch. You chose which of the available loads you want.
7. From ND and MN to Texas, Fl, NC GA OH, UT PA NJ and the PNW then back
8.Trucks are on a 4 year trade cycle.BeHereNow97, dedrouteCO, Speed_Drums and 2 others Thank this.
