Marten Transport (marten.com) offers minimum weekly guarantees.
One thing I didn’t notice is how much experience you have? Many companies that offer a guarantee will only take you if you have one or two years experience.
I've been looking to go back on the road, but am only interested in a pay structure that ensure that I will make over $1k/week. If I'm going to be gone for days or weeks at a time, and work 55-70 hours per week, I really don't think that's a lot to ask. It looks like companies across the board are offering lower pay, longer trips, and fewer (or no) guarantees. When I talk to them, they swear I can easily make $1600/week, but they're not willing to back that up with a guarantee. They want to offer mileage pay and a governed truck.
I see a lot of "Top earners make $X", "Earn up to $X", and "average pay is $x", but no $x/hour, day, or week.
I have too many bad experiences, being on short runs, spending long hours in docks, and not making any money on mileage pay. If I can't get a driving job that is not based on mileage pay, I'm going to get rid of my CDL.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
How long have you been off the road? If it has been longer than 6 months, some companies will put you back into training.
Freight is low. Too many drivers right now.
I got my CDL through Veriha and drive for them. They have had guaranteed minimum pay (g-pay) but are redoing their pay structure and neither myself nor the other drivers I talk to know for sure what it will look like when it's all said and done.
