You will NEVER know the exact gross paid to the trucking company that broke off a crumb... er load for you to haul. It could be a 10,000 dollar coast to coast haul but don't you believe a percentage of say 2000 dollars for that haul is what you will be told and paid on 2000. Not 10,000. You will never know what the load REALLY paid.
CPM is obsolete. No wheels turning, no money making.
Even if you did get a load you might be paid under say House Hold Guide meaning zip code to zip code. You could lose hundreds of miles off the bat. Poof never paid.
What I like best is salary. Pay me 3000.00 a week as a company driver and no matter what the truck does that week. 20 miles or 20000 miles. Anything else is feast and famine. And BS the drivers and owner operators.
