I don't mind multiple stops if I can get them all on the same day or significant miles between stops.

It's the 4 stops over 2 days with no miles to speak of that's messed up. $90 in stop pay doesn't remotely compensate for 2 days work. When I get those now, I ask for layover pay right off the bat and generally get it. It's not as good as two days of full driving, but it makes a HUGE difference.

 

Mine is all 4 between Sunday night and Monday night and reload on Tuesday. I have an extra pick up too, so it's $120 in extra drop pay... Plus about 300 miles in between all the stops added up... Should be an interesting use of my HOS....
I don't mind the multi stop loads. I just don't want it to self destruct when I am going on vacation on Sunday the 3rd. Will be home on Friday the 1st...

 

My family's biggest holidays are Xmas and Independence Day. I missed Xmas home this year cause I only started on Dec 7th. NOT going to miss the 4th. My family are all veterans, as are most of our friends. It's a wild day, with morning celebrating my (soon to be) 10-year-old grand-nephew's b-day, afternoon barbecuing an generally making pigs of ourselves, and evening starting with a prayer of thanksgiving, followed by fireworks fit to rival most small town's displays. -And drinking. LOT'S of drinking, especially after the kids have been bundled off. -Which is why my return date is the 6th. Cause I'll be in no shape to pick up a load on the fifth.

 

Tanning bed and masseuse. Magnum needs to jump right on that.

 

Another thing about meat loads, can't just sweep the trailer out.

 

Im from Greensboro North Carolina and been looking into Magnum and from what I've been reading sounds like a great company. Would anyone like to explain more about the performance pay and how that works.

 

It depends on whether you come to the company with prior experience or not.

Based on what a brand new driver just told me, he's making 40 CPM after 10 months (Including a month with a trainer).

A lot of us are making 45-47 CPM, but we're not rookies either.

Performance pay is based on:

Idle Time
MPG
Miles per month
Late times
Tickets
Accidents/incidents

 

First we have a hiring moratorium on North Carolina drivers...not really, they're on the way to outnumbering Midwest drivers.

Ok there are a number of points assigned to your 4 month average on miles, safety, your CSA scores, etc. These points help establish a pay level, the largest score comes from how many miles you average. You get points deducted for not having a haz mat certification, but otherwise it's all about your performance.

You run hard here you will typically make $0.48-$0.49 per mile after your first 4 months (experienced drivers) or 6 months for new CDL drivers....

Did that help?

 

Hey!! @supersnackbar , tell him what he has to look forward to at Magnum.

 

I think he can get the gist from my previous rants. No need to
