Oh.... So you are a regional driver. Not a local driver like the position the OP was inquiring about. You are a regional driver that typically...
Okay did you make 63k in your first year as a new hire? I do know one guy who made 73k in his first year in intermodal in HBG but he worked way...
I run regional intermodal out of Harrisburg and I did local for two years. Local intermodal is a decent job... but I would seriously question...
Long hours for the most part are a part of the trucking industry. The numbers I quoted (50k new driver, 65k exp driver) assume the driver wants to...
True. Starting pay is 34 cents. I was mistaken I started at 38 because I had 2 years in when I switched from DCS to intermodal. And yes you're...
Let me just call it the way it is: that pay is awful. In Harrisburg, PA our local drivers get $23 for every D/H and $43 for every live...
I have been a professional driver for a good while but this morning my uncle asked me about what I thought of trucking and was interested in the...
I haven't been on here in quite a while. As it turns out I've been too busy running freight 70 hours a week so jawing with the CB jockeys turned...
Uhhhh..... yeah, right. $350 a week. I mean if you're going to make up stories or repeat urban legends ya think you could make them just a...
Janichol, It should be pretty self explanatory with the ETA. Estimated time of availability is the time in which you will be able to start...
Where's this? I would imagine some areas are better than others but "banking" 100 a day is really low. Most drivers that work intermodal in my...
Only 70 spaces but 20 showers eh? That struck me as funny for some reason. ( a common average would be closer to 300 spaces and 8 showers).
You really need to work on this. Don't let impatient fourwheelers push your buttons. You have to lose all sense of being wronged or wanting...
Letter of the law guidelines are yes you are to be on line 4 on duty not driving. Personally I usually logged it in sleeper berth as not to use...
How many days per week you drive is gonna vary. If you're OTR you're likely to be in the truck all 7 days unless you have home time, but you may...
I can do better than that. I can name two right off the bat: TMC says on their website that new drivers who opt for mileage pay earn up to 37.5...
Hope that helps. The only thing I'd add is that instead of teaming I'd suggest running as "super solos" instead. Teaming involves the truck...
I realize that with a down economy 2900 is an unusually high average today. So I wouldn't tell a new driver to expect $45-50k in his first year....
Started with Transport America in late 2007. Starting pay was .29 cents but if you had no service failures you got .01/mi bonus, had no accidents,...
When talking about pay I think it's important to compare apples to apples. I think you get a more accurate comparison when you use gross pay...
