When I last checked (over 6 months ago), a team driver with 6 months experience & hazmat could make 46cpm split with Covenant. It is quite possible they raised rates in my absence to 48-52 cpm (split), though I wouldn't think that would be right out of training.
I haven't looked at Swift or Schneider in a while, but Con-way teams make 44cpm split (but with a lot of perks). -
Double Yellow,
Thanks for the response and I also want to thank you for taking time to make this thread and share you experience with Covenant .
We were actually going to go with Con-way Truckload originally but they didn't like a ticket I got . (47mph in a 45mph ) I think it was more so that I got the ticket while I had my CDL permit, the cop woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day as well since people were passing me in the left lane doing 50-55mph. -
Double Yellow, you got me confused with this team driver making 46 cpm split....I guess you mean each driver makes .23 cpm right? I just spoke with a solo Cov driver who came to company a few months ago. He has 15 yrs of experience and he is making 26 cpm.... Me, I have been in this company for almost 5 yrs now and they pay me .32 cpm. If I were not in the per diem program, they would be paying me .35 cpm.

While Covenant's team pay is among the best, Covenant's solo pay rate is near the bottom -- especially if you haven't opted out of per diem (there is -- or was -- an optional company per diem disenrollment period once a year for driver's with Covenant more than 6 months). Still, Covenant was very good at getting me miles so I often made more with 27cpm (solo) at Covenant than a friend made at 37cpm with May (3200 miles/week for me vs 2200 for him).Rocks Thanks this. -
DY, thank you for the informational thread and your tell it like it is attitude. I have a better feel for Covenant now that I've read your posts and will research them further. Stay safe.

Hi Double Yellow.
Thanks for the heads-up about US 52 in Manhattan, IL.
We travel through or around Joliet several times a year, rarely on the interstates (per Navigo routing).
I just checked our 2013 atlas, and this is still showing as a truck route and it is not on the restrictions list at the front of the atlas, either.
Maybe this forum should start a new thread for these types of "gotcha's". -
This site seems to have some pretty good links for HazMat, plus their own group on yahoo.double yellow Thanks this. -
I agree totally!

Thanks for the info double yellow. I keep getting told covenant is junk also (such as ripoff report, and people), and have also considered going to what I hear is their subsidy SRT. Would it be a good starter move with SRT? I am not tied down, and travel is not an issue. Thank you.
