    Why is it that some companies have their pay rate posted on a billboard on the highway and others keep that info locked up like Fort Knox?

    I've often wondered the same, along with ads on job sites and they don't put the company name.

    If you go to any website of a trucking company you'll find the driver pay listed. It's no secret.

    May not be a secret...but it will be a shocker when it ends up being half of what's advertised on your week's settlement.

    Glad I'm not a company driver anymore.

    Well I have looked at the company ad online, and the website and can't find a hint of what they pay. I like to have an idea before i apply

    Same with carriers/brokers. Had this exchange over the phone too many times:

    'What's it paying?'

    'We need it there asap! Get rolling in that direction!'

    'But what's the rate?'

    'It's more than good enough to cover your deadhead, I promise.'

    'Yeah, ok, but how much MONEY do I get for putting it in my trailer?'

    'We already promised them you'd deliver first thing in the morning!'

    What company is this?

    This is the first time I've heard of a broker force dispatching an O/O.
