    Why? That would be 50-60% so if they were getting a dollar a mile he'd be getting $.50-.60 cpm. That seems decent.

    Because I don't drive someone elses trucks...ever!,,,and you know that ain't how it is. Nobody except maybe JBH can run a truck for a buck a mile gross, then pay a driver 50-60% of the gross. Even they can't do that. Fuel and fixed costs alone cost alot more than a buck a mile. You knew that I'm sure.
    I just thought he was kidding and so was I, but to be honest,,,it would take alot more than that to get me to drive someone elses truck.

    You were kidding right?...and I missed it?.........my bad......sorry.

    We are not affiliated with the Pape Machinery companies. If you look closely they have an accent over their e. They pronounce it pa-pay. Ours is pronounced like paper but without the r on the end (payp). We have delivered to their Deere dealerships before.
