Flatbed Company Drivers Only - What Do You Get Paid?

When I was running a flatbed with a company, I want to say it was around .38 per mile. That was loaded or not. It was not a bad deal for someone starting out in the business, but it was the raise that got me....1 cpm after 1 year. the every 4 years.

 

35cpm , 8cpm per diem, $50 tarp, $25 stop. Detention varies and I'm not sure how much breakdown pay is. Fuel bonus is 1cpm for every tenth over 7.5mpg.

 

Curious what your weekly averages are. I find it funny that the local drivers itt were the ones who mentioned their weekly incomes and others mentioned their CPM rate while not saying what they average weekly. Shows how people think differently given their field / work area.

 

He didn't ask.

 

Weekly average doesn't mean anything to me. I might gross $600 one week and $3000 the next. All I care about is the year to date earnings.

 

My miles and weekly is pretty consistent. I run OTR, no particular area. I go where ever they pay.

You can base the weekly off CPM. You know how hard your going to run. If your an 8hr a day person who wont run nights then figure 400mi a day. If your the max legal type then figure 3000-ish mi a week. If your into 'stretching boundaries' then 3500 - 4000+ mi a week are possible.

No 2 people, even within the same company, will run the same miles and make the same pay. Everyone is different and has different limits. The key is to know your limits and stay safe.
