I'm calling SHENANIGANS on 600-800 wk with what I know of what I and all other werners I have talked to during my 14 months working there . I drove 11 western for 6 months and 48 for 6-1/2 months and 6 weeks in training .
No he can expect to average 1800-2200 miles 2200 if he stays out for weeks at time ,as a few days home time every 17-21 days will drop a 2200 average to 2000 ... so he can expect to "GROSS" $468.00-520.00 per wk ...and take home "NET" $250.00-320.00 per week at Werner .
I don't see how you are "TAKING HOME" 600-800 a wk ...Lets go to the MATH to show you my confusion .
.26 cpm x 3000 miles= 780.00 gross ...after taxes ...680...after expenses ....580....this would be his net take home after running 3k miles a very rare amount of miles for a Werner solo driver to ever get . And how you ever " BROUGHT HOME" $800.00 net from a weeks work is beyond me ,as 3000k miles doesn't even "GROSS" you $800.00 :shock: :? :wink:
He will not see 3k miles at Werner on any frequency worth mentioning :wink:And to net 800 he would need to run over 4k miles at Werner :shock:
The math on 800 NET TAKE HOME...26x 4k miles $1040 (GROSS) not take home 'NET" one can easily expect to only net about 740 after weekly living expenses $100.00 and around 200 in taxes totaling $300.00 ,and 4k miles as a solo driver at Werner is like Santa Claus it don't exist :wink:
I'm not bagging Werner ...But as a Solo driver there isn't any money at Werner . And if you driver CHEAP team (STUDENT TRAINER) you will be out for 6 weeks at a time ,and running like a team with a "STUDENT" is a good way to have an accident ,as you will have to push the novice ,and you yourself will be lacking heavily in sleep all the time making you very susceptible to an accident due to fatigue this will happen because you will be logging your 10 hr break when for the most of that 10 hrs you will be watching the student. :wink:
