Melton or System Transport for a rookie?

I'd be a little scared if they were backing beside my truck all day long lol

 

Less cpm doesn't mean you'll make less money weekly. I just read a post about that very subject and he explains it well. I'll find it and tag you so you can read the post.

 

No less cents per mile means you have to run more miles to make the same money. More bad advice.

 

Not bad advice. A few pennies doesn't make much difference. Accessorial pays and freight lanes can mean a few hundred dollars a week difference in pay.

 

Depends on the accessory pay. ie tarping, drop/hook, short haul or any thing like that.

 

We've had these conversations before and we have different opinions as you know.

Want my advice? Go with neither.

 

Tanker driver here so Im not to worried about it but just trying to inform the OP about system as they are the flatbed division of our company.

 

I'm not bashing them because I don't know much about them but that's not the way I would go.

 

Some companies pay $100.00 to cross into Canada and some don't pay anything.
Some companies pay $10.00 tarp pay and some pay $50.00
Some companies pay $100.00 to cross into NYC and some don't pay anything.
And the list goes on and on.
