Minimum Pay Per Mile

I guess I would ask them that question! Local drivers make deceptively high cpm, might be 40 or 50 cents. But then again, local companies usually pay by the hour, load or day. Call them and ask!

 

If I'm forced to give a number, I'd say 32 CPM having no experience but there is a lot I don't know about the job and your abilities and what you can offer this potential new employer, as well as what they will demand of you.

But the mileage component may be minor. 50 cents a mile isn't great if you only run 1,200 miles/week, so there could a number of other pay components to consider and the potential weekly gross may be the bigger consideration. As with most jobs, what you get out of it in terms of pay is dependent on what you can/will put into the job. But don't become a slave to them.

 

$0.26 to $0.35 -- again, you have to call potential employers, they are all different.

 

I think he may have a potential job opening at some local outfit and he wants to know if he's getting shafted or not with whatever they offer. But when the OP says "local company, home nightly" that makes this not your typical driver entry job so I'm not sure if the normal pay rates you see for new drivers as found in driver ad books would apply here.

 

One thing I have learned getting into this field was very well illustrated by an instructor at school. CPM is not singularly a good judge of pay but one of many many variables to consider . I could pay you $1.00 cpm, guy b .30 cpm and guy c .45 cpm.

Now guy b is rolling 3000 miles a week ($1000/wk), guy C is running 1700 ($765/wk), and you your getting 200 miles a week. ($200/wk)

 

The local gigs that I'm seeing generally pay by the hour. From what I'm seeing...that tends to range from $19-25/hr, for a new driver. $19/hr being the going rate...$25/hr being more for the graveyard shift.

 

Someone was advertising 13 CPM the other day. Schneider is 32.
