Default Any one know about Henderson Trucking?

Reading this ad in G3(gears, guts, and glory)...Whatever!

anyway, it states: Solos- $76,614.78(min. 1yr otr)

Anyone confirm or challange that-- before I call their recruiter?

It also states: Regional: 65,383.46

How much per mile??

Ok, I just checked their website out-- they hire pay .36-.37 cmp

so, to make $76,614 you'd have to drive-- 207,066 miles- Solo in a year.

my best friends Brother in Law drives for them, and last week he sat in Denver for 5 days waiting for a load. He sat from Friday until Wednesday. He got paid a whopping 25 bucks for every day after the first 24 hours.

He is a lot more patient than I am, I would have run away a long time ago. Their load planners are idiots, he constantly sits for a day, than gets dispatched on a load that should have picked up the day he got unloaded.

From what I heard they lost their biggest account, and that is why every one sits around at this point and time.

Also, he used to go home for 3 days after being gone for 2 weeks, now he can only stay home for 2 days.

From what I have been told by former Henderson drivers is that most solo drivers do not do that well there. They are considered more as backups to the teams and usually get the short runs, or only get long ones if a teams is not available.
