Furniture Delivery???????

I got a job offer to be a furniture driver for a company 5 minutes from my house. The drivers are OTR for an average of three days I was told. Pay is based on a percentage of the load. This company seems to be successful and growing from what I can google up so I am expecting an average number of loads. Pay is Bi-Weekly. How many loads do you think I will have on average for those two weeks? AND What can I expect to get paid for those loads on average? THANKS YALL

 

Where I work has a few different divisions but mine delivers furniture from manufacturers to their customers all over the country and my warehouse services the eastern half of it... from what I can find online I will definitely be working hard in between my driving but I'm OK with that...i guess i'll post updates on this thread..and in the end I will have answered my own question.

 

Can't wait..I'm ok if I get paid good though

 

so I got a phone call monday asking me to come fill out my tax paperwork. i went and was asked about 5 minutes after I finished it if I wanted to go to DC for a few days..I said yes and was on my way within the hour. We were running behind apparently, we had 8 deliveries that day. ended up in DC at 5 pm and still got 6 stops delivered and two scheduled for 7 am the next day before we stopped around 10 pm...we started early my second day and finished around 10 pm again... the third day we finished up our deliveries and I drove back from DC to NC.. the guy I worked with was cool and knew his stuff..there are a few different driver schedules ....some deliver over the weekend and are back by tuesday...some deliver in the beginning of the week and are around the weekend...and drivers who team to san diego to pick up and deliver to NC..i was told it takes 6 days ..3 out 3 back ..bumpin docks and it pays like 900 a week...One thing that I forgot about was the fact that DRIVING takes a toll on your body just like moving the furniture does...and am worn out..I had to turn down a trip to NY ME VT because it was leaving right after I wouldve got done doing the paperwork and I am in need of sleep...at this point the load im on is with the same dude I rode with that was cool. we willll load the truck tomorrow and ride out sometime early moday or sunday I cant remember but our first load is dropped in GA 4 hours away and we work our way back up to our last stop on wednesday in Thomasville which is right down the street. ill put up my check stuff when I get it to get people an idea of what you can make working here starting out...all in all I like it alot..cool supervisors and cool lead drivers. i could see myself being here for a long time..which was my plan...i was also told they work with owner operators...and a nice low mileage 26 foot box truck with a hydraulic lift gate goes for like 20k-30k...if anybody is reading this that has knowledge of o/o straight truck type shtuff chime in...that is all

 

So I just got back from my fourth trip..the first was dc and Maryland and va..the second was Alabama , Georgia, and South Carolina. The third was to Michigan and my last was virginia. Tips were good in dc and Maryland and va. Michigan wasn't bad but Alabama and South Carolina were. And Georgia's tips were good. They were all 3 or 4 day delivery trips...got my first check for 2 weeks of work and it was right under 1000 but I file my taxes with 10+ expeditions so they only take out 45 bucks total. I was approached by another company's driver recruiter in a walmart parking lot and he told me I was getting screwed having a class a permit and driving class c loads. He also said his helper makes more than me...Does that sound right. Am I getting screwed.. I can have my company put me in a class a truck to make more if I have to..but am I getting screwed.

 

lol I'll keep that in mind...I do new furniture delivery mostly in expensive homes and some business offices...8 to 12 stops in a day..some one piece some 9 peices...
