    I am an owner operator, considering leasing to Comtrak out of Memphis, TN. I would like to find out some information from any owner operators who are leased to, or have dealt with in the past, Comtrak Logistics. Average mileage per week, average length of hauls, basically any information you can give me.

    Thanks for any and all answers!

    SH42 - I am leased to them out of Birmingham, Al. Mileage pay. 1.05 per mile loaded plus 100% fsc, .89 per mile empty and bob tail plus 1/2 of the fsc. FSC is recalculated every week. Over 2,000 miles per week they add another .03 cpm for loaded miles. Safety bonus every quarter. Birmingham o/o will avg 2300 miles per week, 60 % loaded 40% empty. Rand McNally miles. I have been there a month. Came off of otr work. I am home every night. Last week I had just over 2300 miles. About 90% drop and hook. They run Qualcomm (no cost to you) and you have to run legal. I have only pulled one load over 20,000 lbs since I leased on. They pay for Cat scale costs. They suit me just fine so far. They seem to be really nice people. They also have a highway division out of Memphis.

    Animal,
    I did 1/2 day orientation in Nashville. Then I spent a day riding with a Nashville based O/O learning the paperwork and Qualcomm. It was a week later they had me bobtail to Memphis and put my QC in the truck. I am enjoying the company and the work. I really got tired of OTR.
     
    scottied67 and animal Thank this.

    My husband was leased on in KC. So can't say how Memphis terminal runs. But he ran fairly good with them up here. Never really had a problem with anything, Heart of Dixie told you the current pay. He hasn't been with the company for a couple of years now. The truck motor blew. So yea, I would check them out. He would still be with them if we could have gotton another truck.
