Decision On Transition

There are 3 Trucking companies that offered me a position/applied for, need an opened insight on them. Currently, I'm driving for TransAm, which they've been generous on miles and frequent home time, but pay isn't matching the miles I've ran. For example, running 2,500 miles at .30cpm shouldn't propose a 400.00 check. The 3 companies were Werner Dedicated DG account, Schneider Dedicated GP account, and lastly driving for Crete/Shaffer( depends on dry van or reefer ). Also, any tips/leads on any trucking companies based in Oklahoma, no flat bedding( even though I've gained weight not being active in the truck ) that you'd recommend? 7 months current experience, drove through all 48 states and weather conditions. Thank you in advice on insight🍺

For example, running 2,500 miles at .30cpm shouldn't propose a 400.00 check.

$2500x.30= $750 gross pay. Federal, State and FICA taxes certainly don't equal $350 out of your check. What are the other deductions eating at your gross pay? Health insurance? Child Support? Garnishments? Just curious. Many people confuse Gross pay with Net (take home) pay.

1. I don't know about TransAm, but if a paycheck is way low, I'd find out why before jumping ship. Just so you don't run into the same problem somewhere else. Maybe they're taking insurance you didn't realize you signed up for.

2. I drove Schneider dry van for two years and everything they promised, was what I experienced. I hauled some GP loads, but wasn't dedicated to them.

Good luck!

I'm not under any insurance with the company, and only 6% 401k( 50.00 dollars ). Even on one check of 3,000 miles, only 600.00 paid out on check. Take out is only 109.00 in taxes, so there's hidden figures that I'm trying to understand how it's possible. Each trip sheet is sent immediately after delivery/final with everything accurate, as for if a lumper fee may be present also.

Every deduction should show up on your pay stub. Companies don't do "hidden deductions". Look at your pay stub line by line. By law, it must be there. I think you are missing something.

Tuition reimbursement maybe?

The college paid for the class and cdl , didn't have to pay out of pocket. What I do see is lumper fees on several of them, which I turned in the receipt with every t.s that has them.
