How do i finally make Money? *Contract Ending*

Something is very odd, why would anybody at all stay on a job that paid 300 bucks a week.
If they sent you through school and training and you had a contract, kudos to you for fulfilling it, and I do not know how long that was, but I have to think that a little communication would have got you much better pay, even right there.

 

I agree, my Father worked there for his last 10 yrs, as a Trainer. Sometimes he would wait a while, before doing an empty message. Because as soon as he did, another coast to coast run would be assigned. Getting paid for all miles @ .30 cpm, (. 20 yrs ago) , he made a good living. Lots of long hauls.

 

But then in your second post you said you have never had a week over 3,000 miles.
Was that 3k miles each, or combined?
If you both do around 500 miles per day, that is 7,000 miles per week.

You also make a point of mentioning per diem pay, but that is also part of your paycheck. It is simply a portion that is not taxed. Were you adding or subtracting that amount when you tell us your weekly pay?

Because either way, your numbers do not add up in any way.

 

I know several and they play more rounds of golf than in office when there were meetings be had he be there short of that they do whatever they want. As to yours sounds more of a small company possibly just the owner. though some have their relatives as there board members which what could possibly go wrong. either way they both can find time being here the fact is I know navy seals who find time do stupid stuff so I mean your logic ain't really there.

 

I have to wonder if you are not getting cash advances, and not counting them when you actually get your check.
I habe known drivers that never got an actual check, because the were always behind and actually owed the company money all the time, yet complained about it.
If you are each getting 24 cpm, buy your low mile numbers, the two of you are grossing over 400 bucks a day, somewhere the math does not add up.

 

I believe the 24cpm is split between them so that they are making $200-250 a day. Then, CRST is deducting, probably for the cost of CDL school and whatever the "housing" thing is, plus insurance and taxes -- the usual stuff.

I'd agree that his post is confusing but I think what he is trying to say is that they have the stamina to run 1000 miles a day together but aren't getting the opportunity.

Also, when he discusses weekly pay, I'm pretty sure he is referring to each of their checks, not together.

If I'm wrong, please chime in @Jay23

 

Hey now, hold on a minute there...

I happen to be a CEO.

Of my one-truck trucking company, lol.

I work my ### off!!

 

I see your typing keep driving driver when your no longer seeing pavement you succeeded.

 

God bless you. You have THAT figured out. If I were to live that long I would like to attend your diamond anniversary.

 

When he said they started out at 30 then went down to 24, I assumed they were each getting 24 all miles, but I have been wrong before.
I have to wonder why anyone would take a 6 cant cut when they were already working for peanuts?
I will applaud him for fulfilling his contract, It seems like a lot of guys like the schooling and oppurtunity, and sure don't mind signing up for it and agreeing to work cheap, but think nothing about breaking it at the first oppurtunity.
