Covenant and team drivers

If you are a company driver, I don't understand the pay to the truck. Statement.

 

What they mean about the pay, is team driving pay. For example, let's say a team pay is .40 cents per mile. that is split to .20 cpm for each driver for all miles the truck moves, whether the driver is sleeping or driving. You will receive a standard pay stub, with all deduction shown, including taxes.

There are some other companies that might hire you with the record. Some of these look at each applicant on a case by case basis. Apply online and see. Covenant might work for you also. Don't know enough about them to judge. Do know they went on a buying spree a few years ago and bought several dry van and reefer companies.

No, those aren't the companies Covenant bought; they are some companies that sometimes give a driver a break.

 

Each driver is paid separately, but they share the same miles. So if the team drives 7000 miles for the week & one driver is making 22cpm & the other 23cpm, they will gross $1540 & $1610 respectively. It doesn't matter if one person drove 3000 miles and the other 4000 -- they both are paid for the total 7000 miles the truck drove.

 

All I know is Covenant will hire about anything, which ought to give you an indication.

 

They won't hire you with a drug felony. Covenant I mean.
