What company is paying its company drivers 1.93 per mile...... sorry, I'm smelling Bovine Manure.

he drives for TMC and makes percentage pay of the load. He's been telling everyone he's going to make over 90k his first year. However a different thread just said he averages 1500 to 1600 a week. Only amounts to 78k to 83k. I'd love to see a w2 at the end of the year to back these claims up. If he's able to get that as a rookie it would be great to help others achieve the level he has in such a short time.

Im with you Diver. We need a bit more clarification on those numbers. Type of freight. Nuclear Waste?

He’s been OTR for all of 4 months.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
Not a bad Gig. To earn $90,000 per year at $1.93 per mile, you would need to turn a whopping 896 miles per week. I think I'll go work there and run 2500 miles per week and earn $250 k +per year. Then I'll retire in 4 years. 3rd grade math is so easy!
I'm pretty certain that Solo is referring to rates on loads, not driver pay.
