I initially felt that the pay sounded low when they were running through the breakdown of the job for me. I can't even exactly remember, and cannot find the info on indeed or anywhere. Indeed shot out that I was inquiring for work to a whole bunch of companies and my phone was off the hook. Hunt called me, and basically said that drivers average 86k and are home every day with 2 days off and the option to work 6 days. There is mileage pay, which I vaguely remember was said to be around 40cpm, but I'll be doing a lot of Chicago (with an automatic truck, which is the only time I'd like to have one, if I'm going to be doing a lot of a city like Chicago). My mind instantly went to 40cpm sounds low, especially with Chicago traffic, though my shift will start at 9pm, which is my preferred shift. After doing some research, I've notice a lot of people claim that this job actually pays really decent. There are other things I'll get paid for ($25 for every stop, but a lot of companies offer $50 stop pay but after the first stop so it also made me think that it was low at first). So, to end my rambling, my curiosity now is on where all the reviews and YouTube videos of drivers claiming the pay is great are coming from? Is there something I'm missing as to how a low local mileage based pay into a large city with traffic problems can actually calculate out to be decent in the end? Anyone on here got information that could help a guy based out of Fort Wayne, IN? I also want to add that this job is really appealing to me due to the potential to relocate, or even snowbird, but if it's slavery pay, then what's the point, I can make $20/hrs doing doordash in Santa Monica using a rental car.
I've got a drug screen with JB hunt intermodal (Fort Wayne, IN) setup for Friday, looking for info

Here's my last 4 pay periods with JB. I'm not intermodel, but I do spend a lot of time in Chicagoland. I work 5 days roughly half of the time and another half day for the right load. I'd double check that mileage rate. It's hard to imagine any account only paying 40cpm.Dennixx Thanks this. -
