Company driver with ACT

Im going company. Ive got a family and just dont think I could commit to a l/p right now. Later on may be different, but for right now...company.

 

That guy will have a heck of time getting another driving job if at all.

 

Thanks. Im really looking forward to it. Cant wait.

 

I think you guys are passing up money by not doing the lease. Without having any recruits I always figured anything over 1000 miles I take home $1.00 a mile for the week.

2300 miles = $1300
2500 miles = $1500
3000 miles = $2000
3300 miles = $2300

As a company driver at I think it is .36 a mile to start

2300 miles = $828
2500 miles = $900
3000 miles = $1080
3300 miles = $1188

Just that difference in one good week makes up for taking a whole week off plus you don't have to follow their routing system and fuel stops.

 

I agree its better money but for now I cant just commit to running for a solid month or more. I have a family at home and 2 granddaughters that I try to see as much as possible. After going company for a while if it looks like I could commit to a L/P then perhaps I will but I think the smart thing to do is to start out as a company driver and get a feel for the company. I just dont jump into black holes and hope for the best. I would rather know that there is a light at the other end if you know what I mean.

 

he probably had the other job lined before he quit.
