Why Would Entry Level Solo Make More than Entry-level team?

Well the Syndicated Sales job says "2-3 loads per week with multiple stop-offs loads." and the Torro job says "10-15 loads per week with multiple stop-offs per load."

The account I'm on is like Terlingua's. We go from a DC to 1 store, then drop & hook, then head back to the DC. Occasionally we will do a drop & hook for a supplier or go to another DC. We've also hauled loads not on our account when the account slowed down back in November.

The trainer we were with was on a dedicated account that went from a factory to one of two factories. He would d&h and did 1 or two loads per day. He didn't get a lot of miles but his cpm is 20 cents higher than we make teaming (at least according to him).

 

Maybe it was a typo.

 

As @Turtlelegs mentioned, contracts pay different amounts.

My pay is flat-rate, ~$76K, based on the contract. I get no accessory pay. However, I’m usually <30min at my two pickups and my delivery is D&H. Some drivers earn more and some less, based on their contract. My contract requires me to be gone all week, with ~52hrs off on the weekend. Some drivers are home every night and some work weekends, based on their contract. I don’t earn what I potentially could with other contracts at my employer or with other employment options. But, I don’t work that hard with my contract, when some others are running their tails off. I run days, while some others run all night. So, this particular contract is a good fit for me. In addition, we pay $0 for health insurance, ~$8/mo for dental and vision, benefits start on day one, 1wk vacation on day one, etc. When looking at pay, one needs to look at the entire package and how it fits them; not just the advertised, potential dollar amount.

The OP’s advertised, team top-dollar amount is way under what a team should be earning, per driver

 

“Drivers Earn up to $95,000”


Translation: the dispatchers’ favorite pet driver who gets all the best loads could earn that amount if the driver never went home and had no breakdowns.

 

I have it pretty easy. My account is for a large warehouse store. I go to 7 different stores between 350-650 miles away. Usually 3-4 loads per week. The parking lots are large and the stores have 4 truck docks. I think it’s actually a downside to this account that I hardly have to do more than a straight back at the stores. It’s taken me much longer to get comfortable with more challenging backs like at truck stops.

 

.51 cpm plus $10/hr for time on-duty not driving.
