WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS???

I have been driving since 1994. We run basically from Denver out to Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City. A little down to Dallas, Houston.
Home every weekend. Most of our drivers start out at 1,100 week. I've been with him for 2.5 years so I'm a little higher than that.

 

That offer is real good. Just be careful who you hire cause people tend to get lazy plus people like to get raises or they don't really feel appreciated. Good luck

 

If nobody knows your customers, a lot of drivers wont work for you, and most oo dont want to give away their sweet spots for obvious reasons. Good luck.

 

Sounds good BUT tanker and flatbed drivers can easily earn that kind of money working a 5 day week with medical, paid vacation/holidays, and a W2.

But still with so many people living in trucks for two or three weeks at a time pulling that junk van/reefer freight for $700-$900 a week you can defiantly be very choosy on who you hire.

 

I think the key here is the home time. The pay is great but if you want longevity, offer this pay , only take experienced drivers, and strive for at least 3 out of 4 weekends home a month and major holidays off. In my opinion that'll keep them even without health benefits . It'd keep me no doubt and I got 5 years exp no tickets no accident's and a good PSP . I should be in the minimum range of what you're looking for, new and young enough to be hungry but experienced enough to not tear #### up and get the job done.
