Pride Transport

It's been awhile since I worked for them so some of this info is dated. They are very location dependent. If you are close to a regular customer they will hire you.

Home time: 2-3 days every 4-6 weeks.
Average miles per week: 3000-3500miles, they will squeeze every last mile out of your e log.
Equipment condition: Immaculate, trucks have to go through inbound inspection and be washed every time they get to Salt Lake. They turn their fleet over every 2-3yrs
Per diem: They take some of you per mile pay back and then give you most of that as a per diem, means more in your check but it has down sides too.
Pay: last time I heard they started most guys at 34cpm.

 

Did you say 2-3 days every 6 weeks?????? Wow. That company sucks. Don't work there. You should have 5-6 days off for that.

 

Yes they run you like a scalded red headed step dog.

 

okay lets say your pay is 34 cpm standard. Well on per diem you would get paid 21 cpm regular pay and 11 cpm per diem. The per diem is treated as an untaxed reimbursement for expenses incurred while living in a truck. Up side is your weekly check will be a little bit bigger. Down side is you your earned income will appear to be 2/3's of what it really is. This can hurt your ability to borrow money. In the end you will make more money NOT being on per diem.

 

Running is one thing. I run like hell. 2 days at home for six weeks?? They can kiss my ###. That's slavery.

 

Oh they start calling you on day one to push you to go out early too.

 

I don't think I would last long there.

 

Sounds like a great company.Let me guess you can gross 800 a week too for staying out 5-6 weeks....
