You seriously aren't comparing Superior's payscale to that of Swift's are you?

Actually, my roommate during orientation was clearning $1000 a week. Granted, he had some previous experience (Swift dont care, they still start you out like a newbie driver) and he was clearning $1000 a week. (actually like $950+ but whos counting) He was running a Dollar Tree Dedicated account out of Oklahoma. Would get paid $100 to unload his own trailer, $20 per stop and the mileage. Most runs were usually around 300mi and had 3-4 stops on average. So just PER DAY, he was making $200-250, for working just 6 days, thats $1200-1500 before taxes. throw in another 200-250 if he worked all 7 days.
That was one of the big reasons why I was always in my DMs ear to get me on a flippin dedicated/regional. I've heard a few stories of screw-up swift drivers, who dont know how to audit their own logbook, not to mention how to keep their 7-day recap up to date (one 1st month driver would work 7 days, then zero out his recap to get a fresh 70...and he was rewarded with a log class then got a t!ts DC run making $800+ a week.) as much as you dont want to believe it, there are runs out there where Swifty solo drivers pull in $1000 a week....ive seen the pay stubs. They are rare, but i know of atleast 3.

I worked for Swift for 3 years. I had some ups and downs with them but overall it was very good. Many weeks I made $1,000 although I never cleared that much. If I hadnt moved to a region where they just couldnt get me home I don't think I would still be there but I'd have put in several more years I'm sure.
