I found the deal of a lifetime .94 cpm company driver.

i like the way the $ looks after the number. this isnt english class.

 

ahh, we are about from the same area. i'm over towards broadalbin. I used to work for logistics one over in your neck of the woods.

 

It really is decent. sure i have to pay my own social security, big deal, what am i losing maybe 25$ a week? at least i'll be paying 100% of it instead of getting ripped off with the Companies that have a mandatory per diem.
The only downside for now is that, and I just have to keep track of my expenses and make sure i take advantage of any and all write off's as possible.
The guy I am working for seems to really have his act together. He lets me do as i wish. I feel he has a real grasp on what he's doing and when he tells me he wants to grow and get a few more trucks I believe him. His last driver must have been a total loser. He appreciates what I do, has set me up to get all new tires and is buying me a fancy new drivers seat. I dont see what he gets paid per trip but when he said he's paying me 50% i believe him. and to be honest, if he's not, not only do i not blame him, but i'm still happy with what Im getting. So far it's seems to be the beginning of a good friendship and work relationship. So far it's the best money ive made for the least amount of work and hassle. it is handy that im conviently located in between where we pick up and deliver so i can be home as often as i wish.
im looking forward to helping him grow and would keep anyone else here posted on the progress.

 

i forgot to mention that literally HALF the miles at this account are empty miles. it worked out good for the owner op before becuase he was paid same empty and loaded, so half his miles were deadhead ( about 250-275 miles per day) so he got decent fuel mileage. now swift says, less 14cpm empty and NO surcharge on empty miles. no owner op in their right mind would stay under those conditions.
