I've been chatting at a resurrected thread and Terry270 said he makes near $2000 a week with a dry box and home every day but one. I started hauling cars in 2002 in Amarillo, Tx at the rail yard for ATSI. I thought 2006 was a good year and I made $75,000 with a 1 yr old truck until they decided to become all O/O. I bowed out. I've done piggy backs and household goods for my church community in between and so my car hauling is spread thin. I've been at Moore since 4/4/2016 and my average take home is between $1,400 and $1,500 every week.
The highest I made one week was $1,900 take home; Probably the way the runs fell that pay period. Moore pays $1.01 per mile for over 330 miles. $1.35 for under 330 miles and all loads out of Lordstown pay $1.50 per mile. I also stay in nice hotels every night and my truck has just over 50,000 miles. I usually get home on Friday and leave out on Sunday morning. I mostly run from Toledo or Chicago to east PA and then I deadhead to Baltimore. For awhile I was running back and forth between Chicago and Delaware and as soon as Belvidere re opens I hope to do that again. I've been driving since 1980 and I've seen a lot of changes and heard a lot of getting rich stories from drivers. There always seems to be some driver that is making more than everyone else and has the perfect job. I also don't see where I would benefit from a union job these days because I'm 58 and I have a Roth IRA and mutual funds and so my retirement is secured.
So tell me; Am I getting screwed here at Moore Transport?
Am I getting screwed?
