    just wanted to get your guys take on taking a local job that pays .41 cpm 350 miles a day 5 days a week 12 hr shift at night hauling dry van loads for lowes drop and hook. It gets extra stop pay too. Ive just never heard of a local gig paying by the mile versus hourly. Would it he worth it?

    350 miles @ $0.41/mi over a 12 hr shift is only $11.96/hr. Is the extra stop pay going to be enough to get that to a respectable average?

    More than likely not she said they were avg $800 to $100 a week but that could be false just a tactic to reel me in.

    $800-$1000/week for a 60 hr week (12 hr shifts for 5 days) is still only $13.33-$16.66/hr STRAIGHT TIME.

    To put that into perspective, a job paying $12/hr with overtime will pay $840 for a 60 hr week.

    Why does it take 12 hours to do a 350 mile drop and hook run? At night, no less..

    Use the numbers posted above and fire them back at the recruiter and ask if they would be cool working for such a small amount. Show them you are not a dummy.

    For 60 hours, you shouldn't settle for less than 1k a week. What benefits do they offer?
     
    DTP Thanks this.

    That still isn't the $15/hr minimum wage insisted upon by burger flippers.
