Don't Know if This Is The Right Decision or Not. Any advice?

CPM is the main problem. I got 2400 miles the last week (is that good /bad ? I dont know). At a decent CPM i could get around 700 or 800 something from those miles but my current company pays at least 10 cents less than that.

 

uh oh, busted! Forgot I put that there. You guys couldve also figured it out from my messages on this thread and in others by my comments.

 

you cant put all of that #### on the driver. Look at some PAM reviews almost anywhere else on teh internet. Oftetimes they'll say I get 200 300 400 dollars a paycheck. Its not because literally everyone who writes a negative review is lazy or doesnt want to run miles. Its because the #### CPM!!! And the 62 MPH trucks. And not getting detention pay on my dedicated route. Not being able to contact people at office. The list goes on.

I run the loads they give me to the best of my abilities in the safest most efficient manner I can manage to accomplish. Im not going to do stupid crap like drive on no or minimal sleep or try to drive through tornado storms. No job is worth doing those stunts.

Its the difference between a 400 dollar and 800 dollar check. or a 300 something and a 700 something.

Are you expecting a rookie ####ing driver with 3 months experience to be an expert at running out his clock to the last possible second every day?? Without getting HOS violations? You can't perfectly run out your clock every day due to traffic jams, waiting at shippers/receivers, any number of other things.

 

Bro I had no money and limited options, COVID cancelled my last job, and i was unemployed for a very long time before that. Its not like i had a multitude of options.

PAM put me in a school less than 150 miles from my house and paid the school, hotel fees. Other companies were trying to get me to travel halfeway across the usa on my own dime and pay my own housing and travel fees.
