When I started I could care less what I made, they made a nice few hundred dollar check each week and kept the usualec
This was back in the 80's Then my first Reefer Percentage. Also by the load. Percentage was 25 of gross so if the tractor trailer closed the books on 2000 dollars worth of haul.. it's 500 to my pocket. Most of it went out to lumpers so I made a home on the road until I got sick of it. A real nomad.
Then I was asked if I was independabtly wealthy? I turned to the owner who asked that and tit, Laughed in his face and said the expensive hardwood stained furnature depecting the colonia era living in the USA near his office in this interview room is a load of ######## easily used as Firewood. Why not unwrap me as a full professional and give me decision make power and tools to
Having a outbound load that is going to go to Salinasoe but it will be morning before we get really rolling.
As far as the later years in trucking ...
Mileage pay.
.18-.21 bonus to start. Still .25 or less 10 years later. Much bad luck.
Still .32 into the 20th year in this case moving finally into the late 90's .32 quickly became .38
Talked to JBH and complained I cannot make any more money per mile., JBH promised me .43 to eventually .48 per mile or more in a day.
I will take a moment to point out that when people started paying me .38 as a basic structure to pay They tried to mistreat and wreck moral tenants regarding loyalty.
.50 plus were logical in a few years and there it was so.
I would demand one dollar a mile payroll, actual miles or a Luisville System of GPS miles provided that they pay actual miles. Think Im silly? You are entirely possibly right. Consider that wages now have to breach old walls imposed by fearful city fathers reluctant to understand that 18 year olds can now have salaries greater than their own.
what is the highest CPM pay you have seen

Yeah a lot of guys can't hack the night work so they stay on package car. But they take a lot more flack from management and have to do a lot more physical labor.
Feeder is way more laid back compared to package car. But I hear there is a high failure rate in feeder training. Feeder training is pretty brutal.
He's gonna eventually have to do it though. Package cars beat you up.LtlAnonymous Thanks this. -
LtlAnonymous and De Trucker Thank this.

I want to get in to Night Line Haul, but there aren't any outfits hiring around me. They're all booked up. Right now I am on with a sweet company. Getting .40cpm +.04cpm quarterly bonus on all driven miles. 3k+ miles a week. I am pretty happy with that, grossing 1,200 a week. Home every week for 34-48 hours. Also weekly hometime if load permits.

I'm currently at.56cpm and in March I should be at .59 cpm, top would be around .63 in 3 years. I mostly run days on extra board. If I bid something it would be running nights over Donner every night and I would get a lot less miles and chain up a lot more than I'd like. I actually enjoy the extra board.

Every Fleecer I met has you all beat $.92CPM.
AM14 Thanks this. -
Best I ever saw was $1.06 a mile, Idaho to California and back once a week.
The catch was that it was team and included at least 35 drops. -
What a feerer?
