What to do?!

Well we went from having too few options to me not being able to pick. I need advice lol

I have two companies I’m trying to choose from US XPress and Sunset Logistics (Grand Rapids, MI)

*both are two weeks on, two days off.

*Sunset I had the inside track on. A chef buddy of mine works for the owner of the company, they’re good Christian people, and can’t say enough good things about them. Small company, I believe they told me 75ish trucks. According to what I read, you’re mainly hauling water heaters and office furniture. You do have to do some unloading, and folding of shipping blankets. Obviously that is paid, but they did not tell me how much.

*1-2 week training period (which I could definitely use) at 85 bucks a day (yuck)

*42 cpm with approximately 3000-3500 miles a week.

*dry van only

*2016 and newer cascadias

*governed 67-70mph

*run the whole 48 USUALLY NOT NYC

*bonus of 4 cpm if you complete 4 easy things (I’ll save you the details I know I can complete them)

*health benefits

*5000 sign on bonus paid out monthly after the 90 day probationary period

*they have doctors lined up to get my CDL physical and med card up to date on site I don’t have to worry about anything before hand, just show up at orientation


then we have US XPress:

*its a Walmart contract running food

*mostly night driving (most loads go out after 430)

*im required to drive 4.5 hrs to and from the DC for my home time, I can’t take my truck home)

*the pay structure is weird:

I need to make as much money as possible, but with two different pay structures...I’m not sure which would be best in the long run.

I loved running Walmart when I was with Pam, but I’m scared that the pay structure is going to not pay me enough...idk, I need advice!
