THEY DONT PAY THE MILES YOU DRIVE IT IS CITY LIMIT TO CITY LIMIT.
Over the last 4 weeks, the company has changed, I ve been doing a lot more broker loads which have had me spending more time loading/unloading (average time of 15hrs a week) than driving and I ve lost about 600 Miles a week, and at only .39 cents a mile that $234 a week and $936 in the last 4 weeks of lost income, it s not the e-logs that s the problem we ve had them the entire time I ve been here, it s the broker loads which are scrapping the bottom of the barrel loads, and detention time at $17 a hour after the 2nd hour, doesn t come close to making up for the lost drive time and income, so today with another 5 hour loading time on a 650 mile load, I m just over it. At first I was told to park my truck at the yard in Dallas and find my own way home, but that was changed to they would find me a load home to Kansas City (where they have a terminal and I picked up the truck from). I m not sure what happened with this company and being a driver they don t tell you much, but 3100 Miles @ .39 cents a mile isn t worth living in a truck away from home when there s local jobs paying the same amount. That being said, it s up to you, I m only speaking about my experience. I drove 14,000 miles a month until the about 3 weeks ago and it all went downhill from there. My last load back home will be 11/17/17.
