Trans Am

Can any one tell me the good n bad about trans am

In short - great equipment, low pay. That's going to be a common theme you'll see with a lot of companies. The more bells and whistles in the trucks, the lower the pay. Trans Am is actually one of the lower paying mega companies. They even offer experienced drivers a low pay - like around mid to upper 30s cpm. That's pretty low for an experienced driver. Cents per mile is only part of the equation to earning a great paycheck. You gotta have the miles and keep that truck moving. But obviously if you can run hard for two companies (i.e. your mileage is the same), but one company pays 10 cents higher per mile, guess who will give you the bigger paycheck?

Now, some guys are into it for the lifestyle, not just the paycheck. I talked to a Trans Am driver, had over 20 years experience as a driver, who knew he got paid a low wage but yet stayed with Trans Am because of how nice the equipment is. If I'm out running for weeks at a time, I'd want to have the best paycheck possible.

Prime Inc has nice equipment too, and they pay a whole lot more per mile, especially if you're in a lightweight truck. Shaffer Trucking pays the same if not more than Prime Inc, and you won't be in a small truck, like Prime's lightweights.

Prime, Shaffer, and Trans Am have reefer fleets. Personally, if I was looking at pulling a reefer, I'd roll with Prime or Shaffer. Probably Shaffer. But I'd rather have a bigger paycheck than a truck with all the bells and whistles. You can become comfortable and grow accustomed to Prime's lightweights. Shaffer's trucks will provide a driver a home away from home too.

Thank you info i appreciate it
