any current DM Bowman drivers ?

Hey guys iam a newbie suppose to start orientation with Bowman on Monday Jan. 16 I just finish All State Career trucking school out of Baltimore MD if its not a hassle could you guys give me a ball park figure of what a inexperienced driver could bring home for a weekly paycheck Thanks

 

Can't give you any insight really, but I guess we'll find out at the same time, I just left the office about 2 hours ago and will be in Monday's class as well. See ya there!

 

Bowman is a bad company to work for! I was there 3 years. Started out short haul but then got tired of staying in hotels since they couldn't get me home. Then got a sleeper and yes they do slip seat. Trucks are not clean either. pay is not good. The insurance is expensive but good. They have gotten rid of all bonuses. The pay is not promising. Started there making .38cpm moved up to .42cpm and left there at .36cpm. I finally got away now i am with grayson mitchell and loving it.

 

Okay burhman so what makes them a bad company beside slip seating ur the only person i ever hear complain about them

 

Too bad you weren't at All state Baltimore today. One of the recent grads came by to talk about his 2 months he's had doing linehaul with DM Bowman. He only works mon-fri and gets about 2k miles per week. He will make about $1K per week once he gets his hazmat. He's currently getting 33 cents pulling flatbed.

 

DM Bowman will promise you everything but then you actually get nothing. The dispatchers will actually tell you that your making to much money then cut your miles. They now have long haul as 300 miles a load. (to me thats not long haul) Things may have changed but since I just left there in sept 2011 I dont think so.

 

Zip code to Zip code /Household miles? @ 2500 miles a week (which I seriously doubt) it's still only $825.

 

If they hire you, they own you. They control nearly every aspect of your life while working for them. Beware!
