    Pay:

    34¢ per mile — for all miles the truck drives.

    Each driver earns 34¢ per actual mile, regardless of who’s behind the wheel. No splitting. No funny math.




    Schedule & Flexibility:


    • Main route: Monday night to Saturday night to Taylor, MI
    • Option to deliver Sunday night and leave out Tuesday night
    • Flexible if you want to reset or stack more miles




    Expectations:

    I’m looking for someone ready to run out their 70 every week.

    Not trying to coast — I’ve got credit card debt to crush and I want a co-driver with the same grind mindset.




    Lifestyle:


    • Vaping with the window cracked is fine
    • No smoking in the truck
    • Prefer someone who avoids truck stop food — I treat that stuff like Russian roulette
    • I mostly eat turkey sandwiches, ramen, and rice from home — simple and efficient




    The Bad (just being real):


    • The OKC to Dallas runs suck — traffic, construction, the usual
    • But they rack up miles fast
    • No waiting on store unloads or backhaul BS — you move, you earn




    Bottom line:

    If you’re hungry for miles, ready to run hard, and don’t need your hand held, we’ll get along just fine

    hey just clearing this up real quick in case it wasn’t 100% clear — it’s 34¢ per mile for every single mile the truck moves, doesn’t matter who’s driving, if the wheels are turning you’re earning


    so if the truck does 5,000 miles that week, you get paid for 5,000 and your co-driver gets paid for the same 5,000 — it’s not split, it’s not 17¢ each, it’s 34¢ each for all truck miles


    there’s no loaded vs empty BS, no hub mile games, no “only when you’re driving” tricks — just actual odometer miles, paid out fully to both drivers


    basically it works out to the same as 68¢ per mile combined in a typical team setup, except instead of cutting it in half, both of you get the full rate


    just putting it out again like this so there’s no confusion not trying to argue, just want the details to be clear upfront

    I think you aren't aware of team pay per mile in 2025. Xpo pays 45 cents per mile per driver

    34c a mile for all miles driven actual miles the equivalent of 68c per mile solo with an actual ability to run out your clock is unheard of… half the time you are driving an empty trailer and all loads are light under 12k and most of the containers are under 20k

    This week I drove solo 3400 miles

    next week I plan on hitting 3800 miles solo.. show me anyone else doing that working for a company with 500++ trucks

    goal is to hit 7400 miles every week with a team.. 2500 for miles alone not including accessorial pay etc etc

    FedEx also wants 1 year experience and preexisting teams only and 3 weeks at a time

    Xpo is also preexisting teams only

    and they all won’t give you unlimited miles
