Trucking company job postings–Truth vs lies

Dryvan is at the bottom of the food chain. Reefer pays a little better if you dont mind setting in docks for 5 hours and a lot of night driving.

big trouble!!

 

Yeah, sounds good to me.

 

.55 to .65 and probably 2500 to 3000 miles per week. I prefer the dry van as well, make as much or more than tanker and lots of drop and hook loads.

 

55 -65 cpm is a little above average. Not many reputable companies are paying that. I would say average for experienced drivers is somewhere in between 45 and 50 cpm. As for average miles, again 2500 - 3000 isn't the norm for a lot of drivers. That's more like 2200-2400 miles. There are drivers in every company killing it, but not that many. It also depends on your company too. What's the average length of haul for companies? If your cpm is on the high side, it's a pretty good indicator that miles arent huge miles. If it fits more in the average, then there's a chance you can see 2500 or better. It just depends on the company, their business practices, customer base and such. Most drivers ain't driving north of 2500 miles weekly. Finally, it depends on you. If you can prove that you can turn the miles, then companies will put them on you. There are some companies which you can turn 3000 plus and be home weekly. I met a guy in Edinburgh, TX. He runs to California and back weekly. Then takes his home time. However fast he can get there, drop off and get back determined his time at home. It just depends on the outfit you're going for.
