Battle Born Thanks this.

That is more like it.. Only making 1000 every two weeks seems rediculas for what you guys do out there..

also OP foodservice pays pretty good I actually work at sysco but in the warehouse I'm a selector aka guy who pulls the orders you would deliver. I know from talking to alot of the drivers 65-70k is normal for working 4days wk. but it is very hard work.. I've been on few routes cause I was trying to switch to driving. But my sysco won't help get cdl and told me I need to go somewhere for 1-2yr experience n come back.. Pretty crazy seeing as they know me and how I work. As productive goes I'm #3 outta like 65-70 ppl -
If they get paid 1000 bucks net per week for 3/6 months
700 bucks net per week for 1/6 months
900 bucks net per week for 1/6 months
and 500 bucks net per week for 1/6 months
They will probably say i usually make "about"800-1000 net per week.
Their actual average will be closer to 784.61 (i slacked off on making the months into decimals to get exact, but you get the point)
I can't really make any argument in either direction with some concrete #'s so I'll reserve judgement until they come out. -
ramblingman Thanks this.

I just love it when someone that's been driving for less than a year comes out and thinks they know every thing, Wish they would just get some experience under their belt before telling someone else what they do or don't do
ramblingman Thanks this. -

This is where I'm at for 2014 so far minus my last couple trips.

I'd rather see Army91W post up his same #'s in these same 5 categories since our experience levels are comparable and will give Dodgerfan a better idea of what his first year will be like at Melton. CrzyJarmans your welcome to post up your #'s in the same 5 categories so we can see what a 20 year veteran driver is making. Something to look forward to for us maybe? -
Now just for the sake of discussion let's do a little quick fact checking. Your making .43cpm and after all additional pay is added in we will say you make .48CPM. We're looking at 3273.79 miles per week average to maintain the aforementioned gross which would give you the net you listed. Now anyone that's been out here for any length of time is going to know that averaging over 3000 miles per week throughout the whole year with E-Logs and a Governed truck is extremely unlikely.
