WHAT EXPERIENCED DRIVERS KNOW
A trucking job is more than the number printed next to CPM.
You need to know whether you're getting enough miles to make that rate matter.
You need to know whether loaded and empty miles are paid.
You need to know what happens when you're detained, whether the equipment is dependable, how long you're expected to stay out, where you're running, and whether the entire package makes sense for you.
That's why we review more than one number when matching qualified drivers with available opportunities.
