Trans Am whats your paycheck like?

Im looking into a few companies trans am being one. I know its lease anyway all I want to know is after paying for the truck, insurance, ect what will a pay check be like? will the pay check be just the same as a company driver or worse?

 

my experience at transam was a company driver reatained more income then lease drivers
they have 1100 trucks and have had for 5 years
train 40-50 new people per week
so that is how many quit a week
I picked up abandoned trucks for them
was usually 8-10 all over the country to choose from

not a bad first job to get experience if you go company

 

I leased with them for 1 year, and I made some money, but I had to live in the truck and not go home. I would only go home for 2 days per month. Make the right choices in running your business, and do whats right for you. If you have kids, mortgage ect don't do it. If you are fresh out of school and haven't been OTR don't do it. I could average between $500-$1,000/ week after all truck, insurance fuel etc. payments were made, but I guarantee you it was hard work, it didn't come without sacrifice. Just my 2cents worth.

 

I would look at other companies. I looked into many companies and found that transam is not the best lease. If you are wanting to lease there are better options. If you want company Look at smaller ones near you. I am With JCT we make more per mile and the lease payment is based on miles you run. I would look for a company that has that option it makes a diffreance. When you do hometime you dont have a 2000 payment for the week you did not run

 

"I could average between $500-$1,000/ week after all truck"

and that's with only going home "2 days per month"!!?!!

a noob coming out of school can do better than that with the right company
heck if I stay out a full week as a company driver I gross $1100 - $1300 a week and I have less than a year experience

If you're leasing you better be making at bare minimum at least 50CPM to yourself at the end of the week, if not you're better off being a company driver.

 

There's a reason why they call it TranScam

84 CPM... is what they pay you but you have to pay for the truck and a bunch more

Their terminal in Kansas is about 3 miles from my house. I couldn't ask for a closer trucking company to work for. But I just can't bring myself to work there and be forced into a lease, at least not at what they pay per mile. But, I really would love to have one of those 680's.

 

me too, i love that truck but not for being paid .32cpm

 

I'm a company driver with transam here is my pay for the last maybe 3 months

 

Ok don't know how to attach an image Pete how do ya do it?
