I can confirm DFC at cooper are currently turned off. Cooper had too many drivers leaving due to them.
I work for cooper, and currently im alittle worried. I never worked OTR because they never paid well in my opinion. I’m not like you old farts; I’m not okay with working 60-70 hours a week. I can’t believe the industry is okay with that for local work.
Swift/knight from my experience is predatory carrier that targets minorities that don’t know any better.
reid dove, coopers ceo said via internal email/ Qualcomm all operations well remain the same and that cooper with maintain independence within the knight-swift family of companies. I don’t see any company laying down 1.35billion and letting the sister company remain independent.
I’ll let you guys know if/when my pay goes down. Currently most terminals pay around $29.55hr for P+D and 0.69mile Linehaul. No time and a half, no sick pay, and no PPO insurance only high deductible HSA plans.bzinger, EuropeanTrucker and road_runner Thank this. -
Ya think Reid Dove and Bill Zollars are related ?
bzinger Thanks this. -

I can’t tell you which terminal because I’m buddy buddy with half a dozen terminal managers you’d find me in a heartbeat. Also my terminal has 14 drivers so it’s small there are no dock workers
but I’m in Florida. I know each terminal has its own pay scale based on geographic location; Miami pays like .50 more but it doesn’t matter because for $1800 a month I can have a mansion in my city versus a garage in miami.
also to clarify I’m not working 60-70 consistently but it does happen to me around the last three months of the year because of the holidays. I average 45ish but right now I’m doing 55ish
They had me doing Linehaul every Saturday for a month and I’m not in bottle of the totem poll.Last edited: Jul 14, 2021

I hate how truck companies can just do what they want. No overtime is complete bs.
