I am still torn between Transam and Roehl. Can anyone provide me with honest mileage from company drivers with either? I like a lot about Roehl but the Roehl trucks I've seen have looked kind of rough. I don't want to sitting around making no money in a broken down truck. Any info will be helpful, Thanks from a rookie.
Can I get some honest mileage from some current drivers?

The recruiter at Transam said that 2800-3200/week was the current average for their company drivers. I haven't gotten any numbers from Roehl. I can tell you that the Transam recruiters are more persistent.
-
I just talk to fellow member panhandle and he said between 2700 and 3000 miles for trans am.

That's incouraging.

No I am not going to believe a recruiter, that's the reason for this tread. I have been to the ts and thought I could reach several drivers here, rather than one or two at a ts.

That's all I hear from other drivers, is more miles. How about better pay? Then we wouldn't need more miles. More miles means work harder and longer the anyone else. Better pay is the way to go. The way I see it is someone working at Walmart can make just as much as we do, if there willing to put in the hours.

Torn between TransAm and Roehl? I'm not sure how much it matters as long as YOU give 110% or more. One of the two might be a better choice as far as your personal situation goes, but the bottom line is in your hands. -
Thanks, that's kind of what I figured. The money per mile is a little better with Roehl, but the equipment seems nicer with Transam. I plan on taking what they give me and spending a lot of time in the truck, as you suggested, at least for the first year or two to pay my dues. So maybe it would be better to have the nicer truck.

If you want to run more miles then learn how to use line 1 to your advantage. And use loose leaf logs as well.
