Solo Company Driver Rates Refrigerated 44 cents per mile Flatbed 46 cents per mile Tanker 51 cents per mile

Is there a reason they list different CPM rates on these links?

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

It's not a conspiracy, it's just outdated information.

Reefer: .44 CPM Reefer LW: .49 CPM Flatbed: .48 CPM Tanker: .51 CPM

And I have no idea what Intermodal pays, nobody talks about it. Rainy or Turtle... any idea? I know it's not a new hire division...

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.

The higher rates are correct and Intermodal is lease op only....however..i believe they ha e company drivers in the Fontana CA area....but you couldnt pay me enough for that. i ran intermodal in chicago during training. it was nice knowing the customers, but inner city and tight spaces were not fun for a newbie.

Intermodal is a niche division within Prime, and I'm not sure of the pay structure there either. I believe you have to live near the port. I also recall hearing those jobs are only available to lease ops, but don't quote me on that.

Intermodal was $1.08 per mile for lease ops only, operation costs were around 75cpm. sound lucrative huh?
