I have alot of people telling me to leave the company I'm currently at, (because of the pay) but I'm happy there. I've only been driving for a month but I get 2600-3000 miles every week at .32 cpm. If something is broken, they fix it. If I need to be home, they make it happen. If I get detained, they pay me..no problem. When I got my own truck and had to re clean the inside, they paid me a bonus and said I shouldn't have had to clean my own truck. They even wash it every week too when I come home!
I have talked to a lot of drivers from different companies and it seems like the ones that offer to pay high CPM are nothing more than a marketing play. What good is it to get paid 50 CPM if you are only gonna run 1000 miles a week? Seems like the ones like my company that pay a little less actually run more and you make more. I have been getting 33 CPM but my runs are all 600-1200 Mile average and have been getting 3000-3500 Miles a week consistently.
Interested to see others experiences. No need to mention specific companies, just want to get the truth.
Agreed with all, those are good numbers.
I started 10 years ago at 32 cpm averaging 2900 for the first 18 months.
If there is room for cpm raises in the future you may do well to stick it out.
Many fail to realise maintaining those sort of miles over time takes dedication, which you apparently have.
