Can you make $60k/yr as a Prime Company Driver?

Since people like to see numbers my fleet manager miss my fuel bonus which was 180 dollar so that's like $4200 before taxes and the tanker side don't consistently put up 6 thousand plus miles but I can can easily get 4 thousand to close to 5 thousand every week which the gross on that like 2600-3200

 

That is pay for a compant TNT trainer? What's the cpm rate? Just curious, as I am looking to go into training as well. Thanks

 

My recruiter said 11-1300 I should be making after I get out of training, that's pretty good!

 

1k out of check for taxes. That's why people are going nuts these days

 

I made 65k last year as a company driver in a lightweight.

I don't do 34s and I don't ever take any time off so keep that in mind, I had 7 days of home time.

Occasionally you have to sit for 24 hours, especially on these Tyson loads while they load your "drop and hook" with a 2 day appointment window. So I guess that is a day off of sorts.

Remember too, Prime pays dispatched miles and not actual miles driven, which are ALWAYS 5-7% less than what you actually drive. Sometimes you can claw some extra miles out of your dispatcher but they usually won't touch them until they get to 10% less than what you actually drove.

 

how many miles total did you drive and is that before tax or after tax?

 

30% taxes. Getting robbed son. Hopefully, you get some of it back
