Anyone have experience with US Xpress? If this is no good, what should be looking for as far as pay goes?

I have a year experience and my girlfriend has around 6 months. We would like to start teaming around March.

Something more fair than that. You should easily top 75 cpm WITHOUT being penalized for breakdowns, weather, the whims of the Wyoming DOT , construction, wrecks or delays caused by the shipper or receiver. Where are you located?

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

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

Still a huge fan of union jobs. Just keeping all my optuons open for now.

With the mileage pay shown on the graph, is that pay split between the two drivers?

If so, 26,000 per month at 80 CPM is going to be 13,000 X 40 CPM = $5,200 before taxes.

No. Team drivers split the miles for the truck, but get paid the full cpm rate.

If the truck ran 26,000 miles for the month:

13,000 x 80 cpm = $10,400 before tax for each driver.
