Worth asking
Questions for any carrier
Cents per mile on its own tells you very little. Before accepting any offer — ours included — get answers to these:
- What are the realistic weekly miles, not the ceiling?
- Are miles paid practical or short?
- What accessorial pay exists — detention, layover, stop pay?
- Is the position W-2 or 1099?
- What is deducted before it reaches your account?
A recruiter who answers those plainly is worth more than one advertising a bigger number. More on comparing pay offers.
