Western express!

So if he was to make $1200.00 per week AFTER taxes, as you stated then wouldnt he have to run over 5000 miles a week at .30 a mile?

 

So lets see 14 yrs experience and pulling flatbed for .30/mi.???? Come on man!!!!!

 

Dear , get way quickly ! Best of luck on your new path ! Carriers that have a turn over rate above 100% , earned it ! Sorry he made a wrong turn ( it happens, it's life, happens to all of us). Learn for the mistake or it was a waste.

 

14 years experience is strong. Why in the world would someone with that much experience go to a B.F.I. (Bottom Feeder Inc.)? WSX is a driver mill/B.F.I. There are two things that are decent about WSX, 1. they have decent equipment. Some of the old SMX trailers are a little rough, but over all, decent equipment. 2. WSX will hire "anyone", short of a fatality on there MVR. In other words, your MVR might be somewhat rough and a more upper tier carrier might not hire you at this time. Go to WSX for a while and work until the MVR gets cleaned up, then more on to a better company. BTW, WSX now makes new employees pay for their orientation. Good luck to both of you.

 

i Know two drivers that hav driven for them and they said some of the same stuff

 

Thirty cents a mile you would have to run hard to make 900 gross . My company is a mega carrier and on my account they start at 44 a mile and move you to 46 after 6 months that's the type of pay range you need to look for to make 1200 a week .

 

Exactly. I already did the math before I got to your post.

 

She was wanting 1200.00 net so the gross would have to be higher.

 

It is amazing that people in this day and age will take a recruiters word and not even run the simple math themselves
