    Just to make it fair, lets keep it to companies over 500 trucks.
    Once we figure out who it is , I will email them their victory sticker and ask them to explain. 1629122719556.jpg

    New grads are getting 50cpm? So an experienced driver can expect close to .60?
     
    The Crossword Trucker Thanks this.

    cents per mile doesn’t mean squat if you’re not getting enough miles.

    I’d prefer an actual dollar number. How many dollars a week are drivers with no experience averaging at this or that mega. And how many dollars per week are drivers with 3 years exp and clean record making at this or that mega.

    Is 500 the starting line for a mega company?
    Really?

    Swift has around 20,000 drivers, and you start the bar at 500 for a true mega?
    Weak.

    The problem is that none of us know which companies aren’t paying well because none of us work for them. It’s paradoxical.

    Highest paying mega that I know of is K & B transportation, like .60 a mile and a $1500 guarantee.
