I have been a company driver for 5 years with 3 companies. I was trained with swift where I stayed for a year. Got local work with Freedom Freight, and worked there for 3 years till their mid atlantic division closed. then I stayed local with dunkin dounuts. All of those jobs were 0 cost to me. Everything was their equipment. That said I only worked around 50 hrs a week at the local stuff and I was home 3 days a week at swift (dedicated Kmart Great lakes Region). At swift I had less than a yeat OTR exp and I was making between $750 - $950 a week running like 2200 miles a week and unloading my trailer at kmarts. Freedom freight I ran round trip from pittsburgh to columbus, OH 412 miles every day and I was paid 160 a day mon - fri. And Benefits were 120 a month. Dunking donuts paid me $25 and hour plus at least 10 hours OT every week. How can O/O be making what i was making as a local company driver? I mean 1.30/per mile, why not just work a normal work week, let them pay all of the overhead and go home to the kids every night? Why are you taking these loads?
How can these rates be Real
