Welcome to Trucking Truth, Edmund!

25% of the load, you mean? What & how are you getting paid now? A bit more info will help the veterans & moderators of this site help you better.

Are you going (if you jump ship) from a W2 to a 1099 company? What is your current cpm? There are SO MANY parameters.

Why are you unhappy with your current job? Freight is a little 'stagnant' right now, which is the WORST time to jump ship. For instance, 25% of a load, if there ARE none, is .. well .. a negative integer! On the other hand, many companies that have cpm pay on W2's may have some types of layover and/or detention pays.

Please clarify a bit, if you can.

Lastly, this is one of the BEST threads, on this topic. All our 'BIG GUNS' weigh in. Mileage vs. Percent Pay.

Best wishes; read that thread!!

How will you reconcile your pay? Unless you are privy to customer invoices how will you know what was charged?

I’d run from this… but that’s me.

Yes I meant load it was auto text that is as a company driver no I’m not working at the present time so I’m not jumping ship And you’re right how would I know if that’s good if I don’t see what she’s getting that’s what I was questioning her

From what I've seen in ads, and read, load %'s were not THAT low, for O/O's etc, dunno bout where ur looking at, just seems awful low to me, but Ihave no real clue as to that side of the biz lol

Know you would need to see their "rate cons", so you know you're not getting screwed over

The same company you wrote of a few days ago? The 25% of the load place?

Whatever you do stay away from those infamous Chicagoland area 1099 companies. Unless of course you are deadset on driving a white volvo and pulling containers.

It appears to be a 1099 reefer/container hauling company. They state 2 years recent reefer experience.

EMKO, Inc. Burr Ridge, IL They have 51 trucks; SAFER score so/so.

ps: As stated above, it's in your best interest NOT to hire on with a 1099 company.

Yep. Anything percentage based for the foreseeable future (Pronounced Democrats Not In Power) I would run from. Rates are awful, freight is slowing, and fuel prices continue to rise daily.

Whatever happened to Andrey? He was "making money" at a great illegal 1099 company. Haven't heard anything from him since around Tax Day this year. Makes me wonder.
