I see. You want a driver that can prove to run between 6,000 and 8,000 a week, but you're only running 3,000 by yourself. One of those lease/purchase, deals, ehh? Your co-driver will have to run between 3,000 and 5,000 a week to get that kind of miles.

Being the richest man in the cemmetary is not something to look forward to. Not worth coming out of retirement for.

[cromaxs]

Thank you Windwalker for correcting me. What I ment to say is I am turning in around 3000 miles a week I am actualy Driving closer to 5000+ a week by my self lets say monday is the end of the payweek 6 am lets say I run from LA To NJ turn in that trip get another load back to LA wich delivers 4pm Monday All in days well technicaly I drove almost 6000 miles for that week but couldnt get that trip in ontime to get payed so I will only get paid for 3000 miles for that week and thats what I do back and fourth twice a week by myself the company is small but everyload is no less than 2,000 90 percent of the time they are 2700 2800 mile runs except for the accasional few . I ve talked to a few of the team drivers and they are very happy the are averaging about 8000 miles a week. So like I said thanks for pointing that little misswording that I ve done kinda to late to fix it though lol. And yes I its one of those lease purchase deal but Ive done the math and can easaly $1000 a week as long as the guy can keep up and run with me and yes run 3000 to 4000 miles a week on his end And I am not trying to get rich but I dont wanna be poor either.

[Ridge Runner]

I hate to be the one to "pull the math" on you but "up to" $1000.00 a week for 6 to 8 k miles is peanuts. At 6000 miles you are going to pay "up to" !000.00 = .17 cents/mile. At 8000 miles you will pay "up to" 1000.00 = .13 cents/mile.

I hate to be the one to tell you that back in 2005 I started on a team run for an O/O leased to a mega carrier and had zero experience and I started at .21/per mile for all miles. Our "normal" run was from Ga to La to Oh to Ga. Out 4 days/ home 3. Just over 5000 miles and my paycheck was just over $1000.00/ wk. Also no 1099 BS. They took taxes out and also offered health insurance.

Cut out the BS and state what you are paying per mile. This "up to" BS doesn't cut it. Our members here are smart enough to do simple math.

Don't rely on one of our members to "make-up" for your mistake of signing a L/O agreement that left you in the hole.

Well the miles that you ran that didn't show up on this week should roll over to the next week and added to the miles you ran that week make for a 5000 plus week. ??? Did I miss something????

Please don't try to drag good people down with your sinking boat.

Did I miss something???

Up to $1,000 a week??????? I make that Monday thru Friday, and I'm home every night and all day Saturday and Sunday...... He did say that he is a "JOKER".... P.S. i didn't think anybody spelled worse than me

[cromaxs]

Well I guess the economy must of some how got better and fuel prices have droped down to what they were in 2005 Sorry Ridge runner stop living in 2005 the econamy isnt that great in the year 2010 and fuel prices are around $3bucks a gallon. And who said I was in the hole ?? ....
As for freebirdrfd First off I dont use a spell checker like you have to everysingle time you have to type your name. Second good for you man thats great you found something that works for you. I guess your company can hire everyperson in america who is unemployed with that same deal right??? Just post a link let everyone no where you work so they can get hired with the same deal you get. Oh yea I forgot according to Ridge Runner its 2005 everyones working and the economy is just fine.
Thanks for all your help guess no one out there needs a job after all.
So I guess they need to pull down the Truck Drivers For Hire Foum and tell those poor saps that say they will work for practicaly nothing. cause there desperate and have bills to pay that, Ridge Rider has a time machine where you can go back to 2005 when the economy was good and fuel prices where less than $2 a gallon, And freebirdrfd's company is hiring every unemployed person in america $1000 a week home everynight and weekends Just ask him for the ### Job placement guarenteed according to him.

One last thing this post wasnt intended for the employed or retired or people from 2005 it was made for an avarrage person who for whatever reason can't find a job and is looking to make some money for whatever reason. I didn't say the pay was the greatest!! I didn't say it was the greatest job in the world!!! I didnt make any promises about this or that!!! All I posted was looking to hire a team driver up to a $1,0000 a week I am only starting at $700 because I dont no the person when I meet them they might not be able to drive We might not get along ect And I say up to cause if $1,000 cause I am not paying them to sit home for 3 or 4 days if the trucks not running. on an average week I will be paying that person $1,000 bucks cash for that week.

[Sabine]

I have driven team, as recently as 2009. I expect to make a lot more than a grand driving team, I make that by myself, driving solo for my company.

Driving team, I usually made between 1100 and 1500 a week, and that was for having between 5000 and 6500 a week in miles. We averaged probably closer to the lower end, more like about 5500 miles a week, but there were some that were more.

I expect to be paid in the mid forty cents per mile for half the miles, or somewhere around 22 to 24 cents for all miles.

I don't believe what you offer is a really good deal. More than likely you will just give your team partner a 1099, therefore leaving all the responsibility on him for taxes and such. Sure, you pay a grand, but after you take care of you own taxes, you may have 650.00 a week left, less than someone on a W2. Lets be honest, at 3000 miles a week per driver you would pay only 33 cents a mile, at 4000 it's only 25 cents a mile. Those are slave wages, not a good income. And that is at a grand a week, at 700.00 those numbers are GREATLY reduced.


While I am at it, I split 42 cents a mile in 2004, and I would not expect to make less today, with everything being higher than it used to be.

Sure, for someone that can't find a job, this would be a leg up. So good luck to you on that.

And one last thing.....spell check is free. Use it if you want to get taken seriously by folks. The proper use of the English language and grammar directly impact on how others see you and how serious you may get taken. I understand not everyone has an easy time with that, but I still believe, even today, proper spelling and grammar are important. And by the way, English is my second language, and if I as a foreigner can take the time to write in a proper format, I find it a poor excuse for native speakers not to do the same.

[Fredog]

I kind of have to agree with this guy, this is a job posting forum, he posted a job and it's up to interested parties to decide whether it's a good deal or a bad deal, Now, if someone who was interested in the job asked for our opinions, that would be different, but as far as I can tell, no one asked

[cromaxs]

Yea your right guys I am not paying that good of a wage. And yes its up to them to file there own taxes, no says you have too thats between them and the IRS. You got me but please tell that to all the swift drivers who are barely getting 2000 miles a week and lucky to bring home $4 to $500 a week tell that to my friend shelton who is driving a refer busting his but out there for an average of $550 a week and who would be beside me now if he could get his hazmatt Yeup tell that to all the other drivers out there whos company is downsizing there employees left and right cause they dont have the freight to give there employees any miles and with the new CSA 2010 starting tell that to all those people who cant find employment now cause the big companys dont want low scores. Your right. You no I ve had hard times in my life were I would of jumped at this oppertunity I've worked for less with major companys and was treated like crap, just a number I was. Maybe I am just not a greedy person who only thinks about money I am happy if the bills are paid and I got a few bucks in my pocket. So I am not used to the responses Nor can I relate to the vaulchers out there who care nothing about just haveing a job and a steady paycheck but geed Money Money Money Greed Greed Greed Money Money Money 24/7 I defi anyone here to go work for a name brand company Swift, JB Hunt, Schnider ect and tell me one they are getting more than 3,000 miles a week and taking home more than a $1,000 before or after taxes sho me the proof.

[cromaxs]

Thank you freedog You said it better than I could. Glad to see not all the post are judgmental.

[Dave_0755]

Don't take it personally Cromaxs. This is truck drivers your talking with/to....got to remember that. This is the most manly egotistical field of work in the world. It's also the one filled with the most gripping, whining, moaning and complete bs.

I come from a long line of company truck drivers. Almost every man in my family was or has been company drivers. Believe me get them all together and you have some drama. Sadly most are dead now from lack of personal maintantence. Still while alive they knew all things. If you didn't believe me all you had to do is ask them a question.

Truck driving warps your mind. All the endless nights of no one to love on and all work does something to your brain cells. I can't afford to lose more brain cells myself....trust me.

I know I will get a lot of flack from my post. I know I step on toes with my comments and opinions. I just have always had a very extreme case of independence. I've told many company owners (in the trucking field and outside too) to go jump in the lake and I've got fired twice from doing so. Still I say this is YOUR life and YOUR choice. Slavery was ended a long time ago. I don't subscibe to the fact that since I'm on the payroll my life belongs to whoever is signing my check.

So I say to you Cromaxs if your loving what you do and doing what you love then do it will all your heart and soul. Get up in the morning with a smile on your face and go to bed at night with a swelling feeling of acomplishment.

I dedicate this posting to all that cut against the grain. The one's that don't let THE MAN control them like a robot. I might never make a million dollars in my life or become someone famous. I do get a huge boost from the imortal words of Patrick Henry.

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope that it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.

This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth -- to know the worst and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House?

Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation -- the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motives for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?

No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer on the subject? Nothing.

We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer.

Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.

Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope.

If we wish to be free -- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending -- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775

[Dave_0755]

I think your a good guy Cromaxs. Your out there working and doing what you do. There is nothing wrong with it. Your simply asking for a co driver and ALMOST everyone here has a complaint about it. Forget them. You will make it in life. I know because you see past what the STANDARD allows for the rest of the follow the leader whimps.

It's not all about the money you dorks. It's about the feeling you get from doing what you love and being someone and something.

Just because industry standards or your owner/boss tells you it's the way it has to be. It might still be something else.

I didn't get what I have or where I am in life by listening to someone TELL me what is right and wrong. You should do your job let this man do his. If it's not something you like or accept then why bash him for trying??????????

[Sabine]

I did agree, it could be an opportunity for the right person. I am talking about me, and my own experiences. I would not do it.

And yes, I do make over a Grand a week. Not every week, all in all I average a Grand every week I am out here. I don't work for a huge company, we have 400 trucks. And while it is not all about the money, lets be honest, I am doing this to pay my bills, not out of the generosity I feel for my employer.

I do wish you good luck finding someone.

[Dave_0755]

One other thing....and I'll shut up.

There is a song by John Berry called Power windows.

All people that thinks it's all about the money or having the best truck, best company, best benefits should take a listen.

[Sabine]

Come on Dave....if it was all about the money, we wouldn't be driving a truck now, would we. I will never be rich doing this.

If I wanted the fancy house, car and toys, I would have picked a rich man, not a truck driver and then gone on the road with him.

[Ridge Runner]

Your points were well taken Dave and Fredog. My intentions were good, my delivery poor. That said; I still stand by what I said. 6 to 8 thousand miles for "up-to" $1000.00/wk is still a bad deal for a driver no matter how you slice it. Why not just come out and say what you are going to pay per mile up front. Add to that that this will be on a 1099 and a bad deal turns worse.

I guess I really don't have to worry too much about someone being suckered in because he stated that "must have 2 years experience". Any driver that has been out there 2 years will see this "deal" for what it is.

Good luck in finding a co-driver and I do hope everything works out for you.

[cromaxs]

Thank you Dave_0755 your word are very inspiring I will look more into Patrick Henry sounds interesting. Also thanks to Fredog, Sabine, Ridge Runner. You all have changed my thinking in one way or another. What I have posted issss, what it is, its what I am offering and can afford.

I am looking for a co driver for one purpose not to get rich not to make lots of money, Its to double down my truck payment to get out of this Lease purchase sooner than latter, To own my own truck to have the abilaty to pick and choose better opertunitys like some of you have done.

I aslo wont just abandon my team partner at that time either if we are doing good together and he so chooses to follow me his oppertunitys will be better too.

The reason for the lease purchase in the first place is because I can not just put down on a truck I dont have the greatest credit in the world either . I dont want to get into the Lease Purchase aggrements and payment ect, But I figured if I had done this 5 yrs aggo I would already owned my own truck and would be doing alot better. I do this because driving is all I am good at I tried digging holes I couldnt do that very good I tryed roofing I am not affraid of hieghts but for some reason the transisiton from latter to roof was kinda scarry and I am not good at it eighter and I dont like the heat. I tryed tellamarketing but ended up felling sorry most of the time for the poor sap on the other end. So I wasnt good at that either LOL So the only thing I am good at is driving a truck so I guess I should own one since I will be in this line of work for a long long long time at least 30 more years if the government will stop interfering with every aspect of the industry.

As for the job believe it or not Ridge Runner and Sabine I am getting email request!! I have a few people I need to call after this posting. So despite the negative point of views about my origanal posting there are people out there that are looking for work and are more willing to take what I can offer right now because of there situation. I am not a bad guy I will treat others the way I would like to be treated and I am willing to compramise with others the best that I can, and within the mean to wich I can afford to do so.


Oh one last thing a couple of you mentioned slavery. As much as most will disagree with me probably I am still gona say it. "We are all Slaves" Let me explain before I get 1000 post telling me I am a horrable person. In the old days The slaves were forced to work by a slave master some were crule others not so crule, But in that type of slavery the slave worked for free but the slave master had to provide the slaves with shelter and food if the slave was not locked away in some barn or hut he might run away if the slave did not eat he would die from starvation. Todays Slavery is much differnt it is called Economic Slavery Today we are slaves to the banks who own our homes, we are slaves to the bills that come in each month Electric, Water, Phone ect, We are slaves to our employers who can pay us hire us fire us however they feel. Who themselfs are also slaves to the same things in life. The only differents between the slaves of the past and the slaves of today is that our slave masters do not have to feed us or shelter us. They dont worry about you escapping because theres no where you can go they run the whole planet. Today we are still forced to work not by a wipe but for or own existence. If not we would be homeless on the street begging to survive. Try putting up a house in some wooded area by yourself plant some food and hunt your own food all without paying a dime for the land see how fast our Slave Masters don't come running in to shut you down and tell you that you can not do this and throw you in jail if you think I am lyimg about not being a Slave.
That will be all for now.

[mike3fan]

But I figured if I had done this 5 yrs aggo I would already owned my own truck and would be doing alot better.

More than likely you would be broke and out of business(if you can call it that). Which is where most L/P's end up, but this isn't the place for that discussion.

[Windwalker]

In this day and age, it would be a very wise choice to look at the truck, and at EPA, and at CARB, before buying any truck. I know a couple of guys that had been running produce out of CA. Two of them bought used trailers. Just over a year later, those used trailers are no longer legal to use in CA. My understanding is that the day is coming when those "used trucks" will no longer be allowed in CA. And the way this country (and Canada) have been following CA's lead on things like fuel and such, will you have that tractor paid off before it's illegal on the road?
