So we im team driving and on an amazon dedicated account. We have been out a month and are doing well. Our fleet manager said we are doing a great job. We were routed to terminal earlier this week for winter driving training. We talked to our fleet manager during that time to discuss pay etc... We are getting upgraded to otr status end of this month, but we need our hazmat for higher pay. I already did test was just waiting on paper for background. My buddy has to start his process. So we sent in our macros yesterday for time off 7 days in advance of when we wanted to start our hometime 15th, 16th, 17th. Three days. Enough time to get what we need to get done then we were planning on running until new years to get thanksgiving and christmas bonus. We recieved new load today showing trips on 15th, 16th, 17th. So i contact my fleet team and tell them about the situation. To make a long story short we got our home time but now we dont get a 5000 mile guarntee on the amazon account anymore? That seems like a punishment to me when we gave advance notice and even talked with our fleet manager in person earlier this week about our intentions. My plan is to i guess stick with them until january. December i will have 6 months otr and i want to go tanker. Should i look for a different job next week or stick it out until january then look for a tanker job? Secondly we have yet to hit 5000 miles with this company team driving having never refused a load and always on time. Im new to trucking.but something just feels off to me. My buddys loan also wasnt being paid for tuition and he had to call them to get it sorted out. We are getting 40 cents a mile with 2 cent safety bonus quarterly. After hazmat should be 44 cents. With the guarentee my take home is 697 a week. I do pay 90 a week for child support. Is there better out there for a new driver? Thinking would rather go solo as well.
Pulled off mileage guarentee for hometime?

If you know where you want to go next fill out the application now they will tell you if you meet their requirements. If you don’t meet the requirements they should tell you what it will take to hire on. Why work somewhere you’re not happy.

Thanks for the advice guys. We are 40 cents a mile each split miles. It just makes me mad they took us off a guarentee for hometime when we have been doing a good job. Im going to look for something different when i get home. My co driver wants to keep working for them and see how it pans out but im not so sure.

I'm getting hemorrhoids just reading this. I hope these guys are getting free boxes of preparation H, they're going to need it. Really? .40 for a team? That ought to be illegal!
