Bynum Transport Auburndale, FL

Oakley charges around $56 an hour,driver gets $7.00 and driver has to be on-duty not driving. Hardly any driver collects delay do to loss of driving hrs, and if you do you will sit as the dispatcher says you will not have enough hrs for next load. Short-hairs.

 

I'm not saying this not true sounds about right but were did you get this information?

 

I was a driver in 2014 until they failed to honor anything in the recruting agreement. They did not honor the $5000 sign on bonus, and my experence plus Personal CSA score were enough to have them slobbering all over themselves. I am not a disgruntled ex, however just trying warn
a fellow professional driver from the same mistakes I made trusting Oakley. In the end I lost over $3000. OH, the delay money is in a drivers welcome handbook and was told directly and personally experenced the pay issue

 

I stay out for 21 days or so and take about 3 days off. They try be flexible with home time. As with all trucking jobs, the more frequently you go home, the less money you will make. So, 21/3 seems to be the right balance for me.

They just might be looking for drivers in WI to cover the Ocean Spray account. You would have to call them and ask about it. A driver could get home fairly often if that was the case. Unless they put you on milk runs when not pulling OS loads.

 

They had a add on Craig's List for hiring in the Kenosha area about a week ago, maybe that's why.....

 

Springchicken - I am on elogs. So is about 50 percent of our fleet. It is still optional for now.

 

About the same. There are advantages and disadvantages with elog as you already know. I have had to use the 8/2 hr split break a few times here lately to make 1am loading times and such. It makes it easier to keep up with my available hours when running on recap like I am now.
