Got off the phone with some o/o craigslist ad (fiber reclaim out of Spokane.) I have yet to purchase the 45k (for all cash) freightliner I have in mind. At a buck a mile I asked the in house recruiter twice if I'm just buying a job..he said yes. Pathetic...
$1 a mile.. So I'm buying a job?

I earn right around $1/mile as a company driver with benefits and paid time off...
Dominick253 and Pintlehook Thank this. -
Your cost are around a dollar a mile if you drive yourself.The good companies rarely need to put up crap ads.$3 should be an average to shoot for.The truck and bussiness expences eats almost half.Even $2 a mile will get to turn a profit.There are too many people in this field that have no issue in wasting your time to get what they want and if if we don't stand up for ourselves will keep getting ran over. There are plenty of jobs out there that can pay you $0.50 a mile as a driver and benefits come with it.

Okay for all you newbies which is better 30000 miles a year at $3 a mile or a hundred thousand miles at $1 a mile wake up please and stop ruining this business. And I'm not talking about the person who posted the question I'm talking about all the new minimum wage super Truckers out there

At $1/mile, you're not buying a job, you're buying a demotion.
LindaPV, spyder7723, RicoNC and 3 others Thank this. -
Haha there was no option C, Just pointing out that the difference isnt much but you work triple the amount.Not a dong measuring compitition or a price comparison.Everyone has different overhead or reasons for pricing but if a half dim moron can get $10 an hour at fast food nobody should agree to owning and maintaining a truck for $15 an hour take home
