Beginning a journey at Danny Herman Trucking

I totally understand that! I can attest to companies that have less than stellar equipment too, as well as cheap owners. I am not really a fan of a company routing drivers or giving assigned fuel stops, but if I audible it, I don't want it to be a big deal either. We have both of those instances. The fuel stops are purely wherever they get the largest discount on the route. Sometimes it could be barely any miles after I previously fueled! I do like a little autonomy out here so that's important as well. You bring up a good point about flexibility though. The drop and hook cuts out so much of that downtime, and also having to fight to get accessory pay. A high percentage of drop and hook freight would appeal to me too but only the largest outfits could offer that, as they can drop trailers pretty much all over the country.

 

That's good ol DHT...nothing but the best lmao.

 

The millage bonus is a scam. I usually stay out for 1.5-2 months. I'm only averaging around 2500 miles a week at 51cent's. I have yet to hit it! They will get you close but then give you short runs. Pick up on Thursday but it doesn't deliver until Monday but technically I could make it there by Sunday.

 

"Older statements!" Nobody is getting rich over here as a solo driver with no detention pay. Only reason I'm still here is to save for a truck and lease on somewhere. I don't recommend this place!

 

Good luck, following!

 

I'm not understanding why your gross is less than your take home.
Either way, that's some pretty poor pay for being on the road full time.
You can do a lot better

 

The take home is what I got after the per deim was accounted for. The hours = mileage.
I got into it with my driver manager more than a few times on the phone and think he's screwing me on purpose. I'm leaving soon anyways I just want potential applicants to be careful.

 

Yes sir my intent was not to discourage you. I've currently been here almost 15 month's. (Leaving soon).
I agree that everyone is going to a have a different experience.
I just felt that I needed to post some pay statements and give potential applicants a heads up. Give it 3 months, I looking forward for your personal review.
Take care.
