hub miles vs practical miles vs blah blah blah

well it sounds to me like you are already doing ok for yourself......let's see

Home every weekend and at least an extra night per week...can't put a price tag on that
.27 a mile off the hub....well when you figure that hhg miles are close to 10% off the actual miles.....you'd have to get paid a pretty high cpm to make the same as the hub. Paid practical miles are around 5% off the actual.
Getting paid per stop extra and also for tarping pretty sweet deal there

I think I would be staying there...you sound like you like it and they treat you well so why jump ship, maybe you could ask about a raise, or wait to see if they are going to offer you one.

Just saying driver

 

Sounds like a pretty good deal...
If you are happy with doing your own thing, and not getting micro-managed like many places, why change? With 1 year seniority, you are likely due for a pay raise...the cpm is not great, but the schedule seems pretty good for a comparative newbie!

 

Sounds like you are getting the miles, and time off. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. What flatbed company are you driving for? I would like to go flatbed. Company depends on some personal reasons, but SWIFT company training or Maverick, TMC, etc., after private school training are options I am looking at, sometime in late Feb/early March. I've been trying to get more information from SWIFT flatbed drivers. Schmud has been very informative.

 

Not bad for a twelve year old !

 

Care to expound on your comment?

 

No because it's suppose to be a haha statement if you read his post.

 

Depending on the conviction type, that my limit you options with the bigger companies...a good oprion might be, now you have 1 year in the seat, is to find an operator with just a few trucks, and see if they will give you a try! Good Luck, and congratulations on your 1 st year!!

 

If the $40 a day per diem is on top of the $.27 per mile and stop and tarp pay, then going someplace else would have to pay that much better.
Many companies that pay per mile only pay loaded miles, and depending on how your current job pays actual miles would also make a sizeable difference.
