48cpm for company drivers? What's the catch?

Often times, the high rates are only given to those willing to drive NYC. Hartte in Maine only pays the 50 cents per mile to those who will go to NYC. Those who refuse get 34 cents per mile. Other companies require so many years if verifiable experience. The key word is VERIFIABLE. If a previous employer went out of business or doesn't respond, then that previous employer doesn't count. You can have 12 years experience but only four are verifiable and you won't get that 48 cents per mile.

 

I will repeat myself from another thread. CPM by itself don't mean much.I recently renegotiated 57 CPM down to 54 CPM and I am making a bit more money with the same miles driven. You will ask "How's that so?!". Simple,now I get $50 for every stop and before I was getting it just for extra stops.
Also you have to take into account where do they want you to drive? 40cpm in New Mexico is better than 50 CPM in Northeast IMO,is trailer preloaded? Full loads or partials? Truck governed at what speed? Etc.

 

Is why you put

Is why you put away a rainy day fund. Economy is cyclical. It goes up, it goes down, it goes up again.

 

Red Rover, Red Rover . . . you make me want to come on over!

 

If it cycles better than it has since the recession...before then, I had one. Since then, it seems that, even the better paying companies just don't have as much business as they use to...at least until recently.

 

I get .51 currently but I sit sometimes. Also governed at 65mph. So ya, diesel drinker is right.

 

All you have to say is they are still on the $.35 CPM base rate. Don't need the whole sales pitch.

It appears the rumor is true, Central Oregon Trucking has a no negative statement clause in their contract.

Nevertheless, thanks for the info. Keep it coming and hope it works out for you.

 

140,000 miles a year!! I gotta go home once in a while.

 

I know nothing about the company being discussed, but if the only thing you consider when looking for a trucking job is base CPM, you are doing it wrong.

(I do admit that he sounded like a recruiter though )

 

I stopped reading at the .35 cpm
I could care less about all the gimmick pay
That I might or might not get.
