Sleeper Team Driver Life HODGKINS

[ManInBrown]

Sounds like a great job. Where do I sign up? Lol. The local CACH is in starts at $30 an hour?

 

[Wally]

My buddy has been on a sleeper team outa st louis and he has hated every minute of it ..5400 miles every week

Lots of gas in that cab?

 

[MyTripisCut]

Net or gross?

Why would I lie about the wages we all make?
Work your 56-60 a week and you to can gross more than 2,500 a week.

Nice printer alignment.

Nice printer alignment.

Common issue.

 

[Brownslave688]

Yeah, but for $2500.00/week, he can probably tolerate it. If he hates it so much, he can always bid back into a brown tractor next bid.

Yeah I think sleeper is gonna be closer to 4K per week with those miles.

That's gross, but I retired in 2014, so I'm not caught up on how much pay they make. It depends on the run as well. Some are close to 6000 miles, some are 3500 and only work 3 days a week. I tell you, as someone who has worked both jobs, if everything was the same money-wise, I'd still go into feeders.

Probably a screen shot. That’s how it always shows up on my computer

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

55-60 hours in package car doesn't compare to the same hours in feeders. In feeders, you're just ridin' and guidin.' It's more of a mental job than physical. Then you go from brown tractor to a sleeper, it's like going from a Yugo to a Cadillac.

That seems more reasonable to me.
If I’m going to have to sleep in a ups truck, your gonna have to double my wages.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Is it possible to do that many miles and not go over DOT hours? WOW!

On a 5 day run there are 120 hours of time.
2 drivers have 140 possible hours of service.

Impossible to run out of hours

If “you”got the right partner it could be rolling party

 

[Jones]

We got a cake run that's only 2 1/2 days, starts Monday night finishes Thursday morning. Pay is about equivalent to working five 9 hour days. I have no interest in sleeper but if I had to do it a run like that would be the one I would take.

I don’t doubt it’s possible. I doubt a package car driver works 58-60 hours a week year round. That’s all. You didn’t post the date on your stub, so prove me wrong and you win.

I don’t do it every single week.

But most weeks yeah, I’m out until I hit $2,500. I don’t see how feeders can be less stressful than package car.
