I did mention he's a company driver, not o/o. It's not his equipment, nor does he get any fuel surcharge. The point of that wasn't that his pay is particularly bad, but that the company is mis-representing the way they determine the rate.
Best paying company for EXPERIENCED company drivers?

In my opinion i would go with jordan carriers out of natchez, ms. They start out at .43 per mile .02cpm saftey bonus, .05cpm performance bonus. And they have a 1500 dollar sighn on bonus. And most importantly you average 11, 000 miles a month if you are actually willing to work you will make great money. And I almost forgot to say you get home every weekend and all major holidays.

Matt, do yourself a huge favor and take your time. Save your own money and stay away from the bottomless pit and trap of lease purchases. It's not worth it. How many guys do you know have had a good experience with this? This is a trap where trucking companies shift the cost of ownership of a truck to you. During the lease, the will OWN you and control your ability to make money. You sound like a relatively smart person just by the questions that your asking. Speak to people that you trust such as OOIDA. They will help you to make a good decision and avoid destroying your credit and your families future. You don't need a lease, you need to save your money, make a down payment on your own truck and get your own authority. It's not hard or complicated. I did it in 2007 and it was the best move that I have made. With your own authority, you benefit from your hard work and YOU are in control of your life. No more of 3 months on the road.
Surfer Joe Thanks this. -
