Decisions, Decisions, SRT, JBS, Averitt or Decker

i would have looked hard at jbs ....(and i'm leased onto srt_) if i was going to drive someone elses truck their insurance looked off the hook

 

I too am leased to SRT. I couldn't tell you anything about SRT's lease program though. Truth be told, I don't care about companies lease program.

Now if it helps any, I've heard A LOT of good things about JBS and their lease program. Maybe something to really look into if you were still interested in them.

I wish you the best.

 

i may be wrong but when i read jbs/s stuff in colorado i think they are strictly company drivers ......with awesome medical insurance ....

 

I like that decker has vans and flats. Freight diversity and volume is always good. Averitte too has flatbed and supposedly they have guys that tarp your loads too.

 

what are deckers hiring requirements? ill have year otr in may... also curious how much i would start out with at that exp. level on the reefer side

$.37 cpm minus the $.08 perdiem so $.29cpm

 

you can get hired with less then a year if you have a good job history. and its not 37 minus 8 for 29 its 37 cpm, you get paid 37cpm each and every week only thing is 8cpm is not taxed each week, puts close to 2cpm in your pocket take home each week. and yes you can still take your allotted per day on the road deduction just not the full amount, has to be reduced a bit, like down to 45.00 a day, thats all. and we also have a sliding pay scale for loads under 400.00 miles to help make more when on a shorter load.
