Do dedicated routes pay less?

Hmm, that's a new one. I always thought a dedicated run paid better, because there was no "diddlin' around" time, and companies paid a premium to have the same person do that run. Now that's shot to heck. What a crappy profession this has turned into. ( seems I use this symbol the most)

 

@MoonlightServices would likely be able to find out.

I don't really see what knowing what your contractor gets paid matters here though, he pays what he pays and that's that.

I think running wild leaves a lot more room for extra bid points rescuing loads and whatnot. Could just be that drivers are more valuable to him in the system than on a route and has nothing to do with money.

None of the contractors around me pay that way that I know of. Dedicated teams here are splitting anywhere from 52-62 cpm from what I've seen offered and heard from others.

 

5400 miles a week vs. ??? . Are you consistently getting 4100 miles a week @ .61 cpm or more now?

 

All solo runs pay the same. Dedicated or open wheel.

Team runs pay MORE (about 7 cents a mile more than solo) and again, regardless of dedicated or not.

 

To clarify - there are two pay scales

Solo and team.

Solo is about $1.52 a mile loaded or empty.

Team is about $1.60 a mile loaded or empty.
