Want to make sure I am making what I should per mile for the experience i have. I have had trainers when i first started, making less than i do now after 2 years. I want to make what i deserve as an otr driver.
Thank you, I make 80k first year driving, should make 100k with my new job, home weekly, that is if I get 3000 miles a week as promised.If you are as good as you think you are, you won't make the money you deserve as an OTR Driver for any company.
buy a truck and dive into the deep water. And I don't mean buy the tractor and lease it to a company that has power over you, get out on your own and do your own thing. That is where it is at.
Whatever company drivers are making, unless you got one of the gravy gigs like Walmart, it just isn't enough. Folks at Walmart can be home every week for their 34 and make more than $100k per year after a couple years on the job if they work hard. Every company driver "should" be able to make that.
you wont.that is if I get 3000 miles a week as promised.
If you want to make what you should as a driver. Stop getting paid CPM. It’s a rigged system designed to make a driver lose.
Not now I don't, I just went from .44 to .70, so I'll take 5 to 600 less miles a week. Every word I said is pure FACT.Wow dude, I have never seen anyone as conceded as you are.
FYI, one thing I learned over the years is that those who brag about their income are usually lying.
Also you do not drive 3,500ish miles a week if you're home every weekend. Get out of here with your lying.
If it was a fact then every driver in the country would be in line to drive for FedEx.Not now I don't, I just went from .44 to .70, so I'll take 5 to 600 less miles a week. Every word I said is pure FACT.
Fed ex is mainly brokers, you can believe what you want, but they pay around $5 a mile to brokers, so theIf it was a fact then every driver in the country would be in line to drive for FedEx.
By the way I'm a feeder driver at UPS and have been in LTL for pretty much my entire career, so I know you're full of it.
Case in point: you likely work for FedEx Ground, which means you're an IC. So you don't make 80,000 to six figures, your truck does.
If you're only making $100,000 a year as an IC then I wouldn't brag about that because I made that in my first year at CR England.Fed ex is mainly brokers, you can believe what you want, but they pay around $5 a mile to brokers, so the
70cpm they pay me is chump change.
Also 70 cpm for an IC is a joke. That rate would bankrupt most carriers.Fed ex is mainly brokers, you can believe what you want, but they pay around $5 a mile to brokers, so the

I just made a low estimate, I just started new job, I could gross 130,000 for the year, I try not to count my chickens before they hatch.If you're only making $100,000 a year as an IC then I wouldn't brag about that because I made that in my first year at CR England. I'm happy with 80k, so anything above is a bonus. I never expected to make that in a few short years.
I'm not sure what you mean, if a broker gets 5.00 a mile and pays .70 there is plenty of profit. Most carriers pay around .40cpm. On 3.00 a mile loads.Also 70 cpm for an IC is a joke. That rate would bankrupt most carriers.
Again ITS YOUR TRUCK MAKING THAT AND NOT YOU!!!I just made a low estimate, I just started new job, I could gross 130,000 for the year, I try not to count my chickens before they hatch.
So your fuel, insurance, permits and everything else is coming out of that .70 a mile and you think you'll still turn a profit?I'm not sure what you mean, if a broker gets 5.00 a mile and pays .70 there is plenty of profit. Most carriers pay around .40cpm. On 3.00 a mile loads.
I'm a company driver, I make .70cpm take home, only expense is my food lol.So your fuel, insurance, permits and everything else is coming out of that .70 a mile and you think you'll still turn a profit?
I was paid $1.15 a mile at CR England 15 ****ing years ago. 1985 called. They want their rates back.
You can't take home 100k on a .70cpm lease lol.I'm a company driver, I make .70cpm take home, only expense is my food lol.
