I have been looking at this company, SOS Transportation(their a concert tour, theater, events trucking company, because they are near my hometown(or where I pickup my mail :-( ). Since I don't keep a home, don't mind been out for long periods of time, willing to travel everywhere(eg. Northeast, Canada) I thought it be something interesting to peruse.
Currently, I driving flatbed but thing are slow with no pre-assignments, longer wait to reload, and sitting in the company yard for several days(no layover paid when that happens). It is a good company but I am getting restless.
My question is I looking for anyone who has done this concert tour/events work as a driver. Specifically, what type of pay structure do these companies have? Do they pay mileage, hourly rates for loading/unloading, a flat daily rate on the road, or what? I think I can figure out a lot of the other issues, but I don't want to go blind into applying for this job when it comes to pay.
Any experienced insight on this type of gig would be appreciated.
