isnt the 50 cpm just for drivers running into So Cali such as Rialto only? I believe everywhere else it's 46 cpm.

In SoCal the traffic is so bad that our Line drivers are paid by the hour.

21.75/hr
.50 cpm

These are current top-out rates, we'll be over 22/hr shortly

I was interested in Linhaul driving for a company named Dohrn, Anyone heard of them? Well anyways I said no thanks after they told me it was $14 an hour. I average $18.50 at my current driving job. Is $14 hr about right for linhaul or is that low?

That is seriously lowball for LTL. Depending on the weather and the route our line drivers make $25-30/hr.

what does the weather have to do with what the pay is?

If weather is a factor then we should be making 100k a year dealing with lake effect snow. That stuff is nasty. I think he means if they get stuck away from home or delayed by weather they get paid for it by the hour.
