Scamp and Westcan

Anyone tell me what these guys are paying? I see that Scamp is advertising a $3 per hour safety bonus, which sounds great except that they don't mention their base hourly rate. Just want to know if the grass is really greener.

If my boss is reading this: You're just being paranoid, go play ball with your kids or something.

Thanks

 

Yeah, it sounds like they're a quality outfit and the blue trucks are aesthetically pleasing.

 

Interesting, if that was the industry standard we'd all be better off.

 

$0.32 a mile and no benefits, same as in the nineties. Fuels a little better, $22 - $28 per hour.

 

I haven't done that sort of work in a while, but I saw in another thread a guy saying he was happy working for $0.32 a mile. My first job driving tractor trailer in the late nineties paid $0.34, hauling reefers to California for two bit outfit in Surrey. I figure I was making $8 or $9 an hour. At $0.40 per mile, if you drove for 10 hours per day and spent another hour doing everything else, and averaged 45 mph you'd be making $16.36 per hour. If you take OT into account you're making less. Mileage rates are designed to save trucking companies money. To make $25 an hour working on a mileage rate, I figure, you need to make about $0.66 per mile.
