My first company after I got out of school was Covenant. My suggestion is go 18 wheeler with a large company first. England,Covenant, Schneider. Don't go with Us Express they only have automatics, and in my opinion you would just limit yourself in what type of equipment you could drive. all...

Thank you for that I really appreciate the straight answer.Its sometimes hard to get here. So you don't need a log book or have to go through scales? What about when hauling hazmat? I'm thinking were going to try this If it fails we will only be out 8 grand instead of having a truck payment to...

Cliff, my husband and I did 53' for 10 years also.We have been in a straight truck for a year now,and LOVE IT!!! Every payday we say "What were we thinking?" The room in this thing is outrageous! No more taking dishes in to wash them.Over the first 6 months we averaged 1600 miles. Now that is...

So sorry to hear about your dog.I would be going insane right now!We are sitting in Dallas at the TA and will keep an eye out for both. Our thoughts are with you and hope for the fast return of JJ.

What was the average CPM for thoes miles?

Unfortunately my husband does that daily because of me. He says theres never a dull moment.

No sorry was looking at the wrong one its .70 cpm I am so sorry wrong packet. My bad! So should I average it at .70

Panther will offer you loads for less than your contracted price. thats why I am asking.

I read it on one of the back posts here on EO. I don't know if I want to go with panther,so I am asking as a industry average. The post I read was from last year.I am looking for a more recent average. What should I expect in reality,not pumped up recruiter talk.

I got it from Panther. Patrica Wells sent me an o/o pamphlet. In it it says vans are 1.10 plus FSC. Any way, what should I expect for CPM in a van on average? Does .87 sound right? P.S I got the pamphlet 2 months ago.

no I got the o/o info and vans are now contracted a 1.10. I know last year s/t were at 1.35,but now there down to 1.25.Guess they changed it. But still .87 seems low. Am I wrong?

What would you say your are average pay per mile is? I tried reading past posts,and it did not sound right. I am with Panther right now in a s/t but they said van rate is 1.10 plus FSC. The other posts i have read are saying like .87 cpm. I know they offer at reduced rate but it still doesn't...

How many miles would you say you get a week? And do you get FSC as well? If so whats it averaging?

I think you pass. My husband and I are in a s/t right now and want to start our own business. I can buy a van out right or have payments on a s/t. Trying to run the numbers but for a solo in the van and team in the s/t.I don't think I could handle teaming in a van.I love him but not that much!

True, but I read these horror stories and at least I get paid on time. This is my first time with an owner op are there better ones out there, or is it always a give and take.

Whats the average amount of miles you do per week? And do you think it is more profitable owning a van or a straight truck?

Is there such a thing as A good fleet owner? I mean doesn't everyone have flaws? Granted I have only worked for 1 fleet owner and in some aspects hes good and others hes not so good. My pay is always correct, no money has to come out of pocket for repairs,and there real nice.But when it comes to...

My question is why did you give him a 400$ fuel advance? I mean doesn't the driver get an advance on his fuel card when he gets a load? And why 400$ It cant be that much to fill his tank. As for the bad driver, well theres also bad fleet owners, it goes both ways.

exactly what I was thinking! so I want to know,can a driver average 1.25 loaded miles on % and if so what company?

you are correct. 1.15 no lift gate 1.25 with one 1.35 for reefer 1.50 tval. I am with an owner op now his rate is 1.35 with no liftgate. so I have to buy more truck for less pay. I did the math and i'm not comfortable with the profit margin at 1.15. so if I dont get the liftgate i cant work for...
