    I've read all the threads about Danny herman. Just wondering if any current drivers have any current info like if they got miles for teams. Looking to switch over in January when my wife gets her 3 months in at her starter co. I live eastern tn

    DHT is always looking for good Teams. Great lanes, great miles, good hometime policy. 1 1/2 days off for every 7 out. Keep your truck, none of that 4 days max Hometime or lose your truck. Contact Sally in Mountain City. She is awesome. No BS just straight forward information to help you make your decision. Good luck

    I have been with DHT for 1 1/2 years. I have NEVER been micromanaged once! Then again, I pick up and deliver on time every time. I don't get tickets or safety violations. I am polite and cordial to everyone in the office and shippers and receivers. 99% of my business with my DM is on the QC. Nobody ever calls me. I will retire in 3 1/2 years. Don't plan on going anywhere else. Good luck!

    If you don't mind me asking what do you gross a week? I hear good things about getting miles but nobody ever mentions pay? Thanks!

    I average 13-14 thousand paid miles per month @ $.51 per mile.... So $6500-$7000. I also take advantage of the Per Diem option. The IRS just raised it to $69.00 per day on Oct, 1st. DHT pays a flat rate per day following the IRS guidelines. They do not charge an "administration fee". I think it goes without saying, but, that $69.00 is off the top of your mileage pay..... not in addition to. As a team, you and your wife could earn up to $40,000 grand a year tax free if you choose the option. PLEASE PEOPLE...... this is not a pro/ con debate about per diem pay. It works well for me at my age... 61..... and tax situation.

    Wow, they are very lucky to have you! What you described is what I call a professional. Those are very difficult to find.
