ESTES Express (5 Year Review)

That's funny. Every Friday night.."What are you looking to do?"
If you want to go home, you pay the price.

 

You stay in hotels.. you’ll see a few extraboard guys with sleepers but they put you up in a hotel for your 10 or your 34 if you choose to stay out. Starting pay for extraboard is .68 I believe.

 

What price is that?

 

An expensive one.

 

Insane to start at .68 CPM and it’s not even top rate is it? How many miles could you expect to get in a five day work week if you were new

Also besides the .68 is there any other pay for D&H or other work related activities

 

Prolly 2300-3000 on the board depending how hard of a runner you are

8.50 per break a set
8.50 per hook a set

Top out like .735

 

I wouldn't say that. Lot of bids guys complain about 600 miles a night and the work commute every day.

I have a buddy in paducah ky runs 598 miles a night with 20 drop and hooks a week.

That's like right at $2300 a week. 12 hour days home every day.

Thats over 110k yr. Home everyday. 99% of otr guys could stay out the entire year and wouldn't come close.

 

I need to apply asap next month #### looks like I can easily make $85K-100K

 

Good insurance and benefits as well. I say do it!!

 

I just took a bid but before that they had been pretty good about running my clock out on Friday. I was averaging 575-600 miles a day on the east coast but I was running to get it done.
