Bowerman Trucking

That's great to hear.

 

So what's their pay for 20 year veteran, equipment (refridg, inverter, APU), do you take your truck home weekly, what are the major lanes from say Oklahoma, avg take home, and are they 48 state?

Thanks in advance...

 

I've been here almost a year now, and for a dry van company it is pretty good although they seem to rely on brokers heavily,and I suspect my level of seniority hasn't landed me any of the contract deliveries they have,it seems they reserve those for the drivers that's been there longer. Which is ok if you e been there a while but I'm only here for 10 months now.
The reliance on brokers is not all bad I get some good runs,but they just throw anything at you and most of the time it seems like a hot load that needs to be there yesterday and my pay doesn't reflect hotshot service at all.
0.42 for 10 yr driver. But I am home on weekends.
Dispatchers seem a little rookie like. They are all very young and Probably all related to the family, which again isnt bad if they were properly trained.
Over all I make on average about 600 to 700 a week for working 5 days. They run you hard but again the paychecks dont reflect it

 

thelinedriver: You are still there? Website states it's salary now. Any numbers available?

 

Did some digging. This is what I found: "Truck Driver salaries - 2 salaries reported $52,322/yr"

Looking at about a grand a week. If they can get me home every weekend, I could live with that, comfortably.

 

I deliver about a mile from their facility in Searcy all the time. Only thing I can say about them is the truck graphics are pretty cool. Their facility seems decent (from the interstate view anyway).

 

Yeah they moved up from Judsonia, off old 367.
Used to know a guy who worked there, he got a yard dog job at Medallion foods so that’s been a couple years ago, he was happy.
