It's no more then 150 miles from base is most of the drop off locations
Do you get paid the same CPM for deadheading?
yes. All miles paid
I think once get through the initial learning curve, you should be able to hit and possibly surpass their compensation estimate. Your unknown is wait times, especially if dealing with a live load/unload situation. 50k annually is roughly $25.00 hour; so your $65 for a "live" situation is gone in 2.6 hours.
so you think once I get into itand learn the ttimes of the places and get moving faster with getting my cargo I will make more?
Deadhead:
To drive with an empty trailer. After delivering your load you will deadhead to a shipper to pick up your next load.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
