Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

I love it here personally.

I probably average $1500 gross per week, including bonuses, as long as I stay out at least 3 weeks at a time (which I do 99% of the time). I probably average 1 week off per month, so:

40 weeks X $1500 gross = $60,000 gross per year.

I'm at $0.58 CPM base pay but I came onto the company with just shy of 3 years experience (will be 4 years experience in several months). There's potential for $0.05 CPM bonus each month on the total calendar miles for the month as well.

I've never picked up or delivered in the whole state of Alabama since I've been with Magnum (maybe once, I would have to check, don't think I have though). I rarely drive through the state either. That said, I spoke with a driver from Louisiana months ago and he was very happy here at Magnum, so you might be alright.

 

Are you sure that's correct?

I came on as an experienced driver last October and the pay scale that Tony sent me said experienced drivers started out at $0.54 CPM - $0.57 CPM base pay (I came on at $0.54 CPM and am only at $0.58 CPM because we had a 4 cent raise across the board to our base pay for the OTR division in spring).

I'm not saying you're lying, but you registered yesterday and you have 2 posts to this forum. Just sounds kind off based on what I know about Magnum's payscale (but it could've changed since last year I don't know).

 

I'll sometimes stay at the Coon Rapids Terminal for the night. There should be plenty of opportunities for you to do so on your 10 hour (or however long) break. You get to choose your loads out of MN, usually the MN Dispatcher (who is awesome by the way) will give you a choice of 2-3 different loads. It's not like you get a whole loadboard of options to look at, she'll give you two to three to choose from. I don't know for sure but I don't think she'de have a problem with you asking her if you can get a 34 hour reset in and just get a load for the day after tomorrow instead of for tomorrow. That might mean you may not get your preferred option for a load, but you would still be able to get your 34 reset in.

I don't live in Coon Rapids but I've actually done that before if I have a load close to home, I'll ask for a 34 reset after I deliver and they've been cool with it. You can ask for a 34 hour reset anytime you want. The Twin Cities Metro is the perfect place for you to be if you go OTR with Magnum, you'll be through that terminal all the time. I deliver and pickup in the Minneapolis/St Paul Metro WAY more than I do in Fargo or ND in general (not sure why it just works out that way usually). Although I do drive through ND somewhat reguarly, I just don't ever pickup or deliver in that state too often (for whatever reason).

If you end up applying, make sure to ask Tony (the recruiter), he can let you know for sure or maybe some other drivers who live in the Twin Cities can comment about taking 34's in Coon Rapids on a regular basis. I really don't think the MN dispatcher or your DM will mind though, things are really laid back here from what I've seen.

 

I’ll have to let a current driver comment too, but when I worked there I often took breaks in Coon Rapids, I used to live in MN and enjoyed catching up with friends, a few drivers even left their cars at the terminal.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you, I enjoyed my time at Magnum before moving on to open deck stuff

 

Thanks very much for the info @Winnyf1 and @MaineRoad96!

 

The countdown has started.

 

I was only stating what the complete payscale sheet said when it was sent to me in October of 2021. @cdavis188 and I have written back and forth to each other on this thread and he's been at Magnum about a year and he's not above $0.55 CPM base pay from the last he wrote about it. So, what you're saying isn't matching up, but again I admitted in my post that my information could be out of date.

I apologize if my reply to you came off as rude or controversial. Best of you luck to you.

 

Perhaps he doesn't realize that @MACK E-6 has the power to make his user name disappear (and can tell from his IP address if he makes up a new one from the same device).

 

Exactly.
