LOADING/UNLOADING PAY

Typically, loading and unloading freight is paid at a rate of $1.50 per 1000 pounds, with a minimum of $40.00 for a full trailer. Some of our customers that require assistance pay more.

The recruiter at this company says drivers average 2500 miles per week. Hometime is as follows: Out Sunday afternoon/evening back Friday afternoon/evening. Keep in mind that I am a newbie and my choices are limited. None of the LTL companies are hiring I'm assuming due to no freight. All local companies want 1-2 years experience.

They go NE a lot but they compensate you. This is a small company, only about 300 trucks. Family owned. Tell me what you think.

What company is this?
