what would be a good company for me?

How many forums will you ask this question on? You asks it on TT yesterday also.......

 

because most of the time, you get more honest answers there then here, but there are more people here. Lust look at the answer i got here. It was from some "supertrucker" that is not smart enough to answer he just makes a snide comment.

My guess is that guy has no clue why he hates a sliding pay scale its just something he doesn't understand so he hates it.

 

I take it your referring to me. I answered your silly question. It's obvious your not a trucker. As that is a basic knowledge. Don't comment on someone's comment when you have no ####### idea what your talking about.

 

no it wasn't tword you. However it is good to know why this place is seen as the the ### end of trucking as far as the forums go.

 

Eckoh, a sliding pay scale evens out at the end. You really don't get paid more for anything. It looks good on paper until you really are working with it. Most of my runs are over 1,000 miles, many of them over 2,000 and a few in the 3,000 mile range. That means if the company I am working for had a sliding pay scale, those loads would pay me a hell of a lot less than they do. Sure, .50 on a run that's less than 100 miles sounds good, but the reality is most of those loads you get are going to be in the 500-700 mile range where the CPM magically went down to .34/ mile. That's how the sliding pay scale works.

 

The sliding pay scale is an illusion, a sleight of hand if you will. Kind of like the companies that will give you a higher CPM, such as Heartland. .50 a mile sounds great. The reality is you're gonna be running 1000-1800 miles per week. They won't tell you that though. Sleight of hand.
