Running With Shipex

#####. I just started my new job today too!!

 

I get an email daily from Shipex. They have never promised me that. Maybe I need to read the email a little closer tomorrow.

 

If that’s true, I’d make a change as well, and I’m just as happy as a pig in......where I’m at.

 

“If it sounds too good to be true.......”

 

Probably one of those 'up to' ads, but in order to be the one to get that, all the planets have to align

 

Wishful thinking?

 

Good luck on moving on from ShipEx, I’ve enjoyed reading your posts about it.

 

Shipex has a mileage incentive which is 16000 miles/month. That would be 4000/week.

70 hours a week less 15 for pre post trips, fueling, drop/hook unloading and misc....you would have to go 72.27 MPH CONSTANTLY for those 55 hours to make it to 4000 a week.

Construction zone coming up? Maintain That 72MPH or you don't get a bonus. I don't even think their trucks do 72.

So, question is why would a company put out an incentive bonus that is impossible to get? Smh...

 

Prove it’s 16k mi a month..

 

I can’t speak to Great Plains.... Holland will run across 80 and 94 in the winter as much you’d see the south lanes in winter.

While it’s true you won’t see Mapleton as much you would see SLC at Shipex, you’ll see a lot of I-80 in winter. They will run you, if your willing to work. Holland overall is a good company for the driver that wants to be long haul and living in your truck.

The bonuses are pretty easy to obtain. Avg 11,000 miles a month and you’ll get the mileage every time. Don’t bump anything, and do the required safety test every quarter and you’ll get the safety bonus.
