Info on national carriers

from what i hear they are one of the better carriers... they haul alot of beef...ive talked to several of their drivers and none have had anything bad to say about them..

 

Hi, new to the forum wanting to hear this as well. Thanks.

 

I've been with National for a little over 5 months... 3 of them being a lease driver, and here's the rundown: As a regional lease operator Southwest or West Coast. You're paid 70 percent of each load. Me being West Coast regional, I've been averaging $1100 per week take home. 100 percent fuel surcharge, that surcharge amount will always be 3cpm higher for beef loads. Stop pay is $40 per stop. For beef loads, your 1st stop is worth $50, 2nd stop is worth another $80, 3rd stop is worth another $110, 4th stop and beyond is worth $140 for each additional stop. Truck lease payment is $650 per week plus $410 more dollars for insurance, maint., ifta, performance bond, etc. You get 1 day off for every 6 days out. Orientation isn't paid, but you get a $250 bonus for completung orientation. The trucks are 2012 Kenworth T700 and 2012 Cascadias, although, they've stopped ordering the Cascadias, but you can get one if you're willing to take a former company truck or lease return. Any repairs or maint. will not come out of your settlement you will not have a negative week due to repairs. Layover and breakdown pay is $200 per day. In my experience, when my truck had a recall issue, I was issued a loaner. That's pretty much all I can think of for right now, if anyone has a question, please feel free to ask

You most certainly can get older trucking!

 

I have drove for them under a fleet owner, they are pretty good people to work for, I drove for The Williams Agency of NCI, still do, hope to stay a long time
