    Not saying it's cool & dang on sure not saying I would do it because I wouldn't but, that pay scale in that area is right around what most companies pay. Not saying there name but there's a rather good size flatbed carrier in MS that only pay a couple pennies more. Sounds like typical SE to me...

    considering the type of drivers I see out there, many are as clueless about driving as the company they picked.

    Yep I agree.
    .34 for that work is too cheap, even as a newbie. What does swift start at for FB? Isn't it like .27?? Anyone doing just a LITTLE research would no that is no deal

    up to .34 a mile? TMC pays .46 a mile to start on mileage, and percentage pay tips the scale at an average of around ,48 a mile. TMC does haul a lot of Schneider's brokered loads. And as expected, they usually pay crap

    I'm a former IT contractor. Saddest day in my life when Schneider bought/ destroyed IT.

    Just another too big mega trying to kill rates, is all. Like flatbed rates aren't already bad enough!

    Up to 34 cents a mile? In other words, they might not even pay that high?

    34 cents might not be bad if they also paid loading and unloading by the hour, detention time, tarp pay, chain pay, paid layovers, and had a good benefit program.

    We haul a lot of flatbed freight and if we offered our drivers 34 cents a mile...they get paid hourly...we'd lose every driver we have.

    34 cents is embarrassing...up to 34 cents a mile is insulting.
