our company is looking to hire. We are home weekends, pay isn't bad. I am getting $900 or better a week before child support comes out.
But you'd have better luck living in MO or MN to get hired. -
aiwiron Thanks this.

I have 2 very good firends (husband and wife) that drive for Fed-Ex Custom Critical. They too do the 60/40 split and love it. Their truck is a 2011 T660 with a cutsom studio sleeper redone by ARI. They travel all over the place, go to some cool places and do a lot of sight seeing (since they pay for the fuel anyways) and still make out well. They only pay for the fuel, that's it. The truck and all it's repairs are the responsiability of the owner. Their truck is getting an average of 11mpg which is good for a Class 8 straight truck i think and they drive 70mph.
The only downside is they do a lot of sitting around waiting for loads, but the one's they do get are in the $4-$6 mile range and it's usually from coast to coast.aiwiron Thanks this. -
If you were offered a driving job hauling specialized loads, no hazmat just oversize and multidimensional.
You would not take percentage making 65-75 thousand a year as a company driver? -

ps-my apologies for not answer quick enough to anyone who has written me...I do have other businesses that I run by myself and do not have time to sit and respond right away but I do appreciate it. -
I thought paying 1099 to employees was illegal? Are they driving their own trucks leased to you at 20%? There's a thread around here somewhere about it.

To the OP, you're really snide and on a high horse for someone who posted this thread and can't find a driver. As a former fleet owner and independent recruiter for 16 trucking companies, my previous post stands on its own merit. You, your equipment, benefits (obviously) or pay is lacking for your industry, otherwise your truck would be filled. As far as not replying to posters, I was referring to posters on your job wanted ad. If you won't reply to them when they ask you a question, why would they want to work for you? And on a final note, I could care less how much you gross, whether or not your a single parent or one of seven wives. That has zero bearing on anything.
PS, Watch out for the IRS with your pay structure, because when they do come calling, they are going to hit you for all the back taxes owed from the beginning, as well as interest and failure to file penalties.Last edited: Apr 25, 2012
