CPM is only a small part of the compensation package, yet everyone seems to think that more CPM = a bigger paycheck. It does not.
CPM does nothing for the driver sitting in traffic, taking a 20 hour break between loads, or waiting 6 hours for the receiver to finish paperwork so they can leave. -
Hirschbach's dedicated fleet pay their drivers like $1000 to $1250 per week according to their site. They probably spending for drivers the app and installing tv, hbo, dvr, whatever.

A couple of years ago I leased to a local long haul company. One time they wanted me to run 5100 miles in 6.5 days.
The load going out was about 2600 miles in 2.5 days. Solo. I was 3 hrs late. I told'em it would be. There are still companies running this way. Last I checked, they are still in business. The dispatchers acted like they never heard of hours of service rules. I didn't stay long. The rate to me was crap anyway. -
hey there dogtrucker where are you on board at now? just wondering.
-
how bout cha there Blind driver where would this be. Sounds almost too good to b true.

Hirschbach promised me "$1250/week guaranteed minimum". I recently talked to a second year lease driver who gave pretty convincing testimony of a steady $1400-1600 net on his lease-purchase. Maybe that's one of the superior outfits.
