Another ACT L/O

Intresting, I actually called and inquired about hiring from here and they said they did. Maybe the recruiter I spoke to was mistaken?

My hurdle was the recent OTR experience, been off the road for a few years, but planned on keeping them in mind down the road. Maybe I'll call again tomorrow and re-check. I'll post my findings here. Thanks Pete.

 

Maybe they changed,it was about a month ago that I asked.They have some new people in recruiting and you might ask to speak to Marsha,she's been here 9 yrs and knows whats going on.Good luck!

 

Sounds like you might actually be able to complete a lease-purchase at ACT. Good info, thanks.

I'll definitely have to keep this company in mind for the future.

 

Yes, my biggest week yet. 3400 miles since monday

I also was working on editing some pictures I took of my senior for her graduation announcements.

That had a little more priority.

 

Looks like I will be there for orientation the 14th. Nervous and stoked at the same time.

 

Nice week Kujo. $1300 after expenses for 2700 miles sounds pretty good. How do they calculate miles at ACT? Kind of curious how many actual miles you ran?

Actually, it's not all that great really.

If you earn $15,600 for the quarter, you'd have to pay $2074 in taxes. That's about $172 in self-employment taxes. Plus another 10% or $130 federal, plus another 5% or $65 in state.

That's $365 less or about $940 per week net after taxes or $3760 per month.

Plus you still need to pay for health insurance. $1500 is what I was quoted for me.

I have about $2200 in monthly living expense for a house and such to include all utilities and food costs.

Gives you $60 per month in the black to live on while on the road by my calculations.
