Anyone Familiar With Bluegrass Dedicated?

After being left stranded hundreds of miles away and spending most of my money getting back home, I'm on the lookout for a job that won't screw me over. I need some money right effing now. Anyway, I saw an ad for Bluegrass Dedicated, describing drivers being home weekends and making somewhere around $1500/week and I think that's W2. I got in touch with a recruiter. The pay is mileage-based, which is a big turnoff to me, but the recruiter assures me that they keep their trucks rolling. He also said the trucks go 70MPH. That beats the heck out of some companies! I'm in a good location to get plenty of miles, make that money, and get home weekends. That sounds like a win-win to me.

Besides not making enough money, there's nothing less fun than being stuck at a truck stop, or a terminal, hundreds of miles from home on a weekend because the shipper or consignee isn't open on the weekend, but I'm missing out on going to church on Sunday and sleeping in my own bed at home.

Anyway, does anyone here have any experience with Bluegrass Dedicated? Everything sounded pretty good, except I'm really turned-off to mileage pay, and have worked hard to avoid it. In my experience, it is an excuse to not pay me when I'm stuck somewhere.

 

My experience with mileage pay is sitting in traffic in Atlanta, Greenville, and Charlotte, or sitting in a dock door for 8-10 hours. Making short trips, maybe 300-500 miles at the most. If I'm stuck in a truck that can't get of its own way, that's another limit on how much I can make. With them never dispatching me outside the Southeast and keeping me in a dock door, I never had a chance to go 70 anyway. When I got a daily rate or hourly pay, it put a ceiling on how much I could make but at least there was a floor. Also, they had a reason to keep me moving.
