    ARound here. It's a lot of scam. Then add the megas. It's mostly the same job, over and over.

    Regarding Craigslist, you have to understand that there are all different types in search of a job. Some have respectable background/history, and some have dicey history. Those with dicey history generally are forced to seek out those with dicey offerings (birds of a feather, flock together). Craigslist is cheap, and attracts those who are cheap and/or desperate. Those who are desperate will work for cheap. See how that dynamic works?

    Well I’ve decided I’m going to hold out as long as possibly for higher than .40 because truth be told it’s .36 plus bonuses they give you for first six months with Doug Andrus and I’m not working for .36

    I did get a contact back from Killpack so we will see what they pay

    Sorry. Doug came to mind. See them floating around more then andrus. And the andrus i've seen floating around. Have been vans.

    According to the internet. $.36 was the pay couple years back. To at least 10 years back. Maybe they got a raise.
     
    x1Heavy Thanks this.

    Yeah. I've heard bad things about Doug Andrus so I had to look things up after I talked to the guy.

    Yeah you might want to start thinking outside of the "box" literally. Looking more into specialty hauling, flatbed, tanker etc.

    Cut the crap. Of course there are other factors but at the end of the day this is a job and the reason we drive is to make a living. Nobody should be driving for less than .45 cpm

    It's not crap. I'm making only two cpm more now than I was at my last job, but after all the extra "variables" come into play I'm making an extra $20k a year now. That's a huge raise if you ask me, plus I like this job more for other reasons as well.
