Anyone work at McElroys?

As title says, I didn't find a McElroys specific listing in the trucking company or flatbed forum. I could've missed it, selective blindness, but I don't think so

Anyway, got a pre-employment offer from them and covenant so far. Wondering how the miles/pay work out for McElroys? Talked to a driver I saw at Lowe's the other day and they said the pay per mile is great, but the miles aren't all that. Recruiter told me workers avg 1500$ per week, but talking to that driver, they were bringing in 880-1000 before taxes/week.

I understand they're a Monday - Friday hauler so I won't be hitting the 2500-3000 miles like an OTR company, but was hoping to hear from those that worked there (I'm based in the east coast of NC) that the miles are better than that guy's experience. If I'm wrong in my hopes, please let me know! I've heard they're good to work for, just hoping the pay is also good.

 

Yeah 1500 sounds like a few years old quote when rates weren't in the gutter. Flatbed/dry van pay about the same now, at least near me for newbies

Most of the otr companies near me hiring are either garbage pay (.3-.4cpm) or teams, and I won't do that.

There's a few guys that went to my school that have stuck with mcelroy for the past 4-5yrs now, wish I could talk to them in depth, but it's just texts to/from teacher. Heard TMC isn't bad. I'm not scared to tarp if I get paid more

 

I'm east of i95 so it's a lot of mega-only or 16-18/hr construction doing cement or dump truck

The megas that don't require 3-12mo pay .38 in things like welfare express, .45c for swift, and .52 for teams

I got a buddy in Ozark that's putting in a word for me, and I might just do long otr if that doesn't work for a company a few hrs away
