Pay $$$$

NOT TRUE!!!!!! some of them easily make 50K In a year, And more if you work your butt off too.

 

After six months i am averaging $800 net driving for jbhunt so it is not impossible.

 

Dunno about CA pay scales, but I run NYC metro truckload deliveries out of the Scranton, PA market, with occasional trips to the VA beach area, WV, CT, northern MD and NH. I gross between $1000 and $1400/week on 2000 miles or less. I'm home all but 2-3 nights per month (usually in a hotel because I'm mostly slip-seating in daycabs), and I only work weekends if I want to earn some extra. After taxes, health insurance, long term disability buyup and a $2500 annual FSA contribution, I'm depositing a minimum of $3200/month.

A higher CPM =/= better paychecks. The wheels do not always need to be turning for you to be earning. Today I earned $92.04 for live unload pay, 2 hours detention and NYC Metro pay. That's in addition to the $128.80 mileage pay for 280 miles. I showed up at work at 5am, had my paperwork done and was on my way home at 5pm.

Don't buy into the 'more miles' = 'more money' sales pitch.

 

Sounds like a personal problem... If you would have done some research before singing on the dotted line with Swift you wouldnt be in the situation your in.

 

I wasn't singing when I signed, and I didn't sign with Swift, I signed with Central, we're just Swift's ugly stepchildren now, I had no say in that.
