Message:: [QUOTE="TheLuckyTrucker, post: 3772449, member: 114473"]On my pay stubs, it showed .10cpm.. so, think of it this way, buddy. .22cpm with per diem is .20cpm..20cpm x 2300miles = $460 divided by 2 = $230. .10cpm x 2300miles = $230. Either way you look at it, you are splitting those miles. I don't know about you, but I never saw 6000 miles a week once I left my trainer. On top of that, school deductions took out a bit. The truck we had was a POS and constantly broke down. BTW it was a 2014 Freightshaker that had already been crashed. We got about 2300-2600 miles a load I will admit. So I made about $260 on that trip. After school deductions, scales, tolls and food, I had nothing barely anything to get me by until my next 2300-2600 mile load.. Good for you if you get a consistent 6000 miles a week. I got that twice with my trainer and still after a 6000 mile run delivered on time, they would have us sit for 2 or 3 days because there were "no loads". You can make pretty much the same checks solo at another company and not have to put up with a random co-driver and sleeping in a moving truck, trusting your life to them, go for it. If I could do it over, I would have went solo at .28cpm. Also, some of those solo companies don't make you pay out of pocket for tolls.[/QUOTE]
