    When hiring a part time driver you might want to plan on paying more than .50 CPM. For the month of June, counting only mileage pay (no training or bonus) I got .48 to the hub. Add in bonus and benifits I would need at least .55 CPM getting paid on a 1099 to make it worth my time. An extra 5 cpm would cost you $150 or so a week.

    Just food for thought

    MORE than .50 a mile? How many truck load Van carriers pay .50 a mile or more? Most of them pay .35 to .45 a mile.. some even less.
    Off the top of my head lets take "Celadon"... if you have 3+ years experience you get a whopping .34 a mile.
    The Schedule would be the main selling point.. not many jobs out there offer 2 weeks on 2 weeks off Schedule.
    Someone looking for part time it could work.
    Didnt say nothing about 1099, an employee shouldnt be on no 1099.

    That's my thinking for getting a glider once my year is up. Make some good dough but be home more often. Happy wife=happy life.

    What Sadwar says makes a ton of sense. Just do some due diligence and pick a good truck.

    TMC IS worse then SNI. While they have great looking trucks and I'd love to own one, every 379EXHD has overt 1,000,000 miles and is priced over $50k. At 1 mil, it's really close to needing an overhaul and that's another $20k. There are a plenty of 379's that already have a platinum CAT overhaul in the $50-$55 range.
