Owners - What do you pay your drivers?

Money makes me happy. But in a pinch I'll take bacon.

I'd work for 29% especially since you don't agree to cheap freight. How's the benefits?

Since it sounds like you're trying to do right by your business and your employees how is the tunover?

 

$1500 minimum with 60 cents per mile after 2500 miles. Some people are extremely happy with that. Others are unhappy no matter what. Some are great full until they stack up cash and then become unhappy. People are gonna people end of the day. It takes time to establish a truly great team. Even then, some will go, others will come. You make your money on the long term team players that see the bigger picture. Guard them like your life (business) depends on it, because it does. The best drivers are busy driving and not looking for work.

 

I pay 57 cpm 20 hr detention and 250 for layover but we also have a full benefits package including 401k match and run apus and xm radios in all trucks

 

45 cent teams
55-60cpm solo d.o.e
Everyone’s happy.

 

For what it’s worth 29% is way too high IMO.

 

Interesting.

 

If you're from some foreign countries you can pay your drivers $0.30 a mile and then charge them rent for living in the sleeper

 

Most

I know a few companies that pay 30% to good long term drivers. I know a few car haulers that do and some of there drivers make over $140k
