stevenstransport, on the lease page of their website it says top driver grossed $329,000, http://www.stevenstransportdata.com/alliance.htm , but their pay is $0.85 plus a few cents bonus or some crap, the driver would have to drive about 350,000 miles, even a team cant do that, so is it just me or is this a perfect example of false advertising?

In the fine print it says the example was during a leap year

Is it possibel he was a trainer of some sort? Where he used some guy to get team miles plus some extra pay for training. Just a thought.

Thats exactly what Stevens did, they would allow their trainers to get a piece of the trainees logged miles (I don't know how much), along with training pay and their own miles. The guy I trained with actually hit every fuel bonus by putting refer fuel into the tractor and leaving the refer he use with 10 gals for the next driver to pick up, that gave him more money.
All the while for the 8 week training period I was payed I think around $300.00 or $350.00 a week fro driving a truck "Team". When I went solo, they seemed to force me out of the truck to fill it with another training team to run that truck 5,000 to 7,000 miles a week and pay the training team only $700.00 a week.
For the first 5 weeks a new driver would be with a trainer, and then for the next 3 to 5 weeks 2 new drivers would run as a "training team"All together I earned $2,800.00 for driving 24,000 (during my training time)miles thats abot 8 cents a mile.
Quite a scam created by truckings number on nemisis,......The Bean Counter

even if that is true it still seems impossible, at their rate $0.90cpm, even if the guy drove 150,000, he would have to take another 200,000 from trainees to make that, just seems impossible, i dont know.

[abc123]

oh wait, it just came to me, the guy probably has two trucks leased to them and grossed $160,000 per truck, maybe?

Whatever it is, i ain't buying! :P

[serbie]

I posted something about them a while back.. with out going back.. I think the truck payments.. JUST THE TRUCK PAYMENTS were in the area of $600-700 per week!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

After I went solo with them they put me in a T-600 that had a windshield so scratched up that I almost couldn't drive it if I was facing the sun, or on a two lane at night. The transmission made so much noise I had to wear ear plugs, but it sure was shiny on the outside,and had no engine brake

[mudpuddle]

Since there was no engine brake did you use the fan and drag those feet going down hills?

[Doghouse]

Nope,...I use the Rodney King ona rope method :wink:
