Wow, I'd never thought about it like that. I really do appreciate your input and the advice. The information I know is it's a 60/40 split, they pay all the niche stuff. It's not forced dispatch, load board jobs.

I should pursue an A and bot invest further into the opportunity?

Hi Marc. Welcome to our forum!

There's no chance in this world I'd agree to those terms. I'd find a job where I actually know how much I'll be making. I recommend you get your class A license and tell those class B bosses to stick it up their... well, you get the idea.

Of course I'm partial to class A work, but I also like to have a realistic expectation for my income. You don't have a clue under those terms, and how do you verify the veracity of the revenues the truck is generating? You have no control over the payroll process. Your boss can tell you anything and you'll have to accept it.

Find something that lays out the details like stop pay, detention, mileage pay, etc. That way you can have some goals and targets to help you determine your income. Your trucking income needs to be in your control, not someone in an office feeding you numbers you can't verify.

Don't fall for this gimmick!

Hello,

I'm a CDL B holder and driver of straight trucks/Van's of 3 year. I started out as a team 3 years ago in a straight truck hauling with FedEx CC. It wasn't bad, hard to adjust but made decent money. I switched to Van's a year ago and the money was kinda stale and not as much. I now sit in year 3 with Load One. I'm a solo, class B, and the basic deal cut is 60truck/40me. Expenses, tolls, and fuel paid. I'm just wondering, just if there's enough money to commit to this contract. Really, I know it's my choice but i just would like some advice. I'm 27 and have a lot of choices of jobs. Is solo class B with that split on mid west/east coast worth my time?
