I used my Google powers to find the ad. The zip code there is 36871 if anyone wants to play at home. Here's what caught my eye:
It sounds like you'll be making 27 cpm , excuse me, "up to $.27 per mile". Up to $47,000 per year.
MWV is a packaging and office supply company, so lots of paper products. Paper products are heavy.
Night driving.
Driving a full truck, regional at night for ~$903/wk gross. You could do much better with intermodal or linehaul. Yes, it does sound like a day cab.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.Intermodal:
Transporting freight using two or more transportation modes. An example would be freight that is moved by truck from the shipper's dock to the rail yard, then placed on a train to the next rail yard, and finally returned to a truck for delivery to the receiving customer.
In trucking when you hear someone refer to an intermodal job they're normally talking about hauling shipping containers to and from the shipyards and railyards.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
That is a low cent per mile. Hell I made that when I started at CFI in 2005 😂
This probably a stupid question..
What is linehaul?
Linehaul:
Linehaul drivers will normally run loads from terminal to terminal for LTL (Less than Truckload) companies.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning them to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.New Reply:

I came across this job on Schneiders website. Mead is only minutes from my house. Does this sound like I would be driving a day cab truck? It doesn't say.
