I have just been hired by Martin Enterprises Inc. of the Carolina's in Gastonia, N.C. and I have heard some things about them that I wanted to know from anybody else with experience. They don't pay a per mile rate, instead they pay a percentage of the load, and you have to do you own taxes?
And they don't have Qualcomm in their trucks, they have tablets, and just a GPS tracker so they know where the driver is.
Qualcomm:
Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.
