$1.26 Cpm Company Driver... Yes I ThinkI Will

Sorry, was on my home time and took my son to see monster jam. It's a car hauler position, miles are up to me. Self dispatch daily, first come first serve. Most are around the 200-300 mile range to delivery, up to the driver if he wants to pick up another load to bring back or to dead head home. Not paid for empty miles. People who dead head back do so they can go home every night, not really enough time to unload and then reload then get back so if you are stuck on the road they cover the hotel. Guy who I met who told me about the place made over 90k last year and went home every weekend. Sign me up. 9$ per car loaded and unloaded, 40$ per stop, and close to home.

1099 or w-2?

VERY important question. 1099 work requires very good record keeping and a good accountant. Google "Quarterly Estimated Taxes". Gotta pay your taxes BEFORE you earn the money!

W2 it's a company position. I will be a employee

Sam. Sounds like a good gig! The beautiful thing about this business is, if it doesn't work out, there are a thousand more jobs waiting for you! Go for it, and report back to us on hauling cars. I've heard it pays pretty darn good, sounds like it does!

Exactly, good advice driver. I concur......

Sam, this thread didn't really go the way you expected it to. Be the main point we want to get across is to proceed with extreme caution. Do not just take this gig without doing extensive research and without talking to their current drivers. Don't let your excitement cloud your judgement.

Local positions really are best with an hourly wage. I don't know the details of your job but it does sound a bit scary. As I said, I average 120 miles I a 12 hour period and I spend only about 30% of my day driving. I'm always outdoors either loading my truck/trailers or I'm dancing with hoses at a gas station. If I was paid by the mile I wouldn't even make a decent salary and I would spend most of the day doing activities unpaid.

Proceed with caution, I cannot stress this enough. As much as you want to be local be patient with it. It took me 3 years to get a good local job, 9 months is nothing. Don't take the first opportunity that knocks on your door, instead, be picky and find the one that fits you perfectly. I would sincerely pass up this opportunity because cpm has no place in local work in my opinion.

Got the job, as long as I don't screw up the road test or physical. Now I have to figure out how to get my fm to send me back home next week for a few hours from Oregon to Ohio. Literally just came off home time Monday and the load I'm on now doesn't deliver until Sunday.
