I start with Superior on August 4th WOOT!

[kenworthw900l]

So how much could one expect to profit as a minimum a week as a company driver for superior after gross?

[wsyrob]

Not sure what you are asking but I have averaged right at $1000 per week gross since I finished training and got out solo OTR. That is before taxes. I imagine it will slow up a little in Dec, Jan and Feb. The last month has been better than that. Since March my smallest check has been $750 gross and largest has been $1350. Managements promise of 48-52K per year seems very doable. I am a first year driver and seeing what the megacarrier training company guys are making I am happy. Note these numbers are before taxes and I don't take per diem

[kenworthw900l]

Thats exactly what I meant wsyrob you answered my question

[Cyanide]

The actual net income per driver will obviously vary depending upon individual tax withholdings, insurance choice, and 401k contribution. Also, some weeks will be better than others (i.e. a week where you're on time-off and perform minimal work or none at all). All things considered, I personally had no problems having more than enough money deposited into my account every week. True to form though, this will give you and anyone else interested my breakdown as a company driver here for weekly gross pay and miles. Though I think I'm missing a couple of weeks here......

Pubescence will possibly (doubtfully) ignite a longing for the fairer sex within DDCavi. Thus, maybe one day, he will understand what you were saying Stan. Then again, maybe not. :shock:
