Just wanted to update everyone on a something. I have landed a job hauling flat bed for E.W. Wylie out of Fargo, ND. Pay is .39 a mile (Practial) Driving a 2006 Mack Vision. Home every other weekend if not every weekend. No forced dispatch. No slip seating. Sounds like a very good deal. Hope everyone out there had a very good holiday season.

Well all there was a change of plans. I am not going to wiley now. I am going to work for cov. transport. I know not a so good company but hey I am looking at money and experince.

[Uturn2001]

So how do you think you will make more at Covenant??????

[mikey4069]

Im sorry : :?: :sad:

[Bumper]

What U Turn said but with more ???????????????????s

[slider64683]

well drivers I am not real sure. i know very little about the company other than they have semi's they haul frieght and they pay money. LOL right now I am just needing to get some experince and stay up on my bills. Is Cov. that bad?

Ok lets see.

Covenant: 3-6 months experience:

.38 0-500 mile trip
.32 501-900 miles
.28 over 900 miles.


EW Wylie 39 cpm all miles.
Right there you are 1 cpm ahead of the game.

Convenat pay HHG miles which basically comes out to mean for every 1000 real miles you drive you get paid for 800

EW Wylie pays practical which means for every 1000 miles you drive you will end up being paid for about 950-980 of them.

Ok so once again how do you think you will make more money?????

[slider64683]

What? I dont understand why everyone hates some company's. They all have there down falls and there plus's.

[Uturn2001]

What do you mean. I simply asked how you think you will make more money at Covenant than at Wylie.

Wylie pays more, Wylie pays practical miles which means you get paid for almost every mile you do drive.

BTW: Covenant likes to give the longer runs to teams and likes to keep solo drivers doing city work for several days at a time. By city work I mean taking trailers to get unloaded and reloaded from a terminal or drop yard and then dropping them back at the yard for team drivers.

There are exceptions to this, but I have spoken with too many drivers over the years to beleive the solo driver that runs 3000 miles per week is the rule.

Uturn the last comment was not ment on this board sorry. Wiley cannot hire me right now. They are short on trucks and some other things. Plus they said if I would drive for another company to get my experince up they woudl pay me more. I am just awaiting for my time. If you could whats Cov. trucks run speed wise.

[Uturn2001]

Unless they backed them off they are set at 68-70 mph

[slider64683]

The Wylie recruiter was at our CDL school today He said they pay HHG miles.
He also said they have 30 rigs open and need to be filled, that's alot of change in two weeks.

They sound like a good company!!! I dint like that u have to Wait 6months for health insurance.
