    Hi, I'm looking to get my own truck and was looking at Xpo Joliet to start out with. They coverost of the extras until I get used to running my own truck and then I can get my own numbers later.

    My question is if anyone knows what they pay for different runs around Chicago. I've talked to a lot of their owner operators and they seem happy but I need to know the numbers work. Thank you for your time and God bless.

    If you are starting with your own truck, i would suggest go for a company that uses paper logs. It makes a lot of difference on your revenue and as a starter you will need that extra revenue.

    The bigger the company, the less they pay.

    Joliet terminal is the worst manged/dispatched terminal I have ever worked for. I was with them since they were BTT and had over 250 trucks, now after management changes they have around 50. What does that tell you.
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    Yes and no, sounds like they have an agreement to get it back now, but not in the same capacity.

    But as we all know, steamship line work is the worst, the money is in working directly with the customer (ramp moves)
     
    Dominick253 Thanks this.

    A lot! Thanks. I was picking up a load one day and was bsing with the head boss. Seemed really nice and everything else looked good but if the money isn't there then i can't go. I've seen some guys with pretty nice trucks pulling out of there. Wonder how they pay for them if the pay sucks...

    Because some guys are happy netting $1,600-$2,000 after deductions.
