Taylor Truck Line, Inc. - Northfield, MN

Never heard of them... and we're right about 50 miles down the road.

Quick math: They say drivers average 2500-3200 miles per week. Optional guarantee pay of $1163. That works out to $0.465 @ 2500 miles. Not exactly the king of the pay scale.

We have a guaranteed minimum position for a local driver that is only $1k, but that job is spending a lot of time in the sleeper at shippers/receivers in order to keep our road trucks moving. I couldn't imagine $0.465/mi or thereabouts... especially since our guys make $0.59.mi at 2500 miles ($1475 + accessorial pays).

 

I don’t know any of their drivers but I see Taylor trucks all the time on 90/94 between Chicago and Minneapolis, they must run Midwest regional.

 

See a LOT of their trailers riding the rails these days.
