Is this even remotely possible? I don't think so, but if you think it is, please do tell

Probably not a carrier you want to work for
GronGrinder@reddit
I never apply for ones that have weekly pay. Give me hourly.
Party-Mind5465@reddit
Buddy driving. You get 2 to 3 people in that truck Indian style you could do that
hardzoup@reddit
I have been in trucking 20 years, and no im not old I just started early. They were lying to us about pay in the early 2000s. They just had the balls to do it to our faces and not use ai.

Lol you are old relax
dimly_hurtful_china@reddit
That pay window's mental if it's weekly. At 0.68-0.75 CPM and 3500-4000 miles, you're looking at maybe 2400-3000 a week before taxes. Indeed's probably just butchered the monthly figure.
Spare-Good-5372@reddit
I'm still just trying to figure out how they're getting 4,000 miles a week
dimly_hurtful_china@reddit
You'd need to be doing like 570 miles a day every single day with zero downtime, which isn't realistic for most companies.
Spare-Good-5372@reddit
Right, forget loading or unloading or fueling or eating. Just drive that bitch.
juuds5@reddit
Drop and hook no docks easily done in 15 minutes and do it during pre trip or post trip scales not that much time unless you have to go around back or bring paperwork. 4000 a week easy too 75 mph 6 days 4500 what problem besides they lie about. 75 cpm?
dimly_hurtful_china@reddit
And that's before you factor in DOT regs, scales, breakdowns, or just waiting for a dock. The math doesn't work unless they're cherry-picking the absolute best week someone had once.
ExtraDip1998@reddit
I do between 600-650 miles a day but the issue I run into is when I get to the reciever they take their time unloading me and dispatch never takes that into account and tries to cram a reload in same day, half the time reloads gotta be re schedualed and I get to sit there while they scramble to unfuck themselvs.
dimly_hurtful_china@reddit
Aye, that's the rub right there, you're doing the miles but the system's working against you with all that yard time and reshuffling, so your actual earning hours don't match the mileage.
Dlocsmith@reddit
If you running in and out of Canada, you'll hit 4k. Esp since Canada HOS is different than America.
Ornery_Ads@reddit
It definitely can be done... but you'd need a nearly perfect schedule.
Able-Pie-803@reddit
Yes. Definitely possible. Those that say it isn’t are just those that can’t do it. Or havnt seen it done.

False Advertisement is illegal. That is the next issue the government need to punish carriers for.
Late-Recognition5587@reddit
What a company says and does are often very different. Possible, yes. Likely, no. But, id explore it. A conversation never hurts. Like others have said, its probably a typo somewhere. Forgot to carry the zero...
UnlikelyFunction652@reddit
Drop and hook get me 600 miles a day almost
Huzul34@reddit
Running illegal prob
CashWideCock@reddit
I used to run 3-3500 miles a week up and down interstate 5. I had to be creative on my logs, take exactly 10 hour breaks and work 6 days a week only being home for a 34 hour reset. It was not fun. At my current job I average about 1700 miles a week and I have fun.
DathBlah@reddit
We don’t eat and poop here at Tylor Transport. That’s baby stuff. Also we don’t have breakdowns and our equipment never needs fuel. You will be offloaded by helicopters as travel 10th gear. Enjoy your half million $ salary every year. That is all.
CaptainReptile99@reddit (OP)
God that'd be so convenient to be offloaded by helicopter. "No dock? Just come get it while I do my 10 at a loves"
DamnedHeathen_@reddit
I've been Trucking for 15 years. I hesitate to say that anything can't be done, because I've done some shit that I wouldn't have thought possible, and I've seen a whole bunch of others do some other shit that I was certain wasn't possible. The comments about not being able to get 4,000 miles in a week, for instance. Done that a few times. The one thing that I am absolutely certain of, is that no company is paying no driver 10,000 per week. That's the only immutable truth. Everything else is negotiable.
Legitimate_Diver_699@reddit
Indeed sucks a$$. Never got a job through them. Just email recruiters directly or go to the office. Make friends and give hard copy of resume.
bigdawg12342@reddit
3 weeks away and only 3-4 days home is so trash 🤣2 weeks gone and 1 week home is the bare minimum anyone should except
cleevethagreat@reddit
DEA gonna wanna have a conversation after 3 weeks
Kyo-Sergal@reddit
I’ve seen this before on indeed, however I just thought that someone didn’t proofread before posting and didn’t catch the accidental extra zero key being hit on those numbers. But for the briefest of moments the thought did cross my mind to get them to draft me an offer letter than me ask about why it was nothing near what the posting on indeed said. Just to see what they would say if anything to humor the blatant impossibility of the posted salary range.
Kyo-Sergal@reddit
The only other time I ever saw this and actually believed it was when I saw a job posting for Prudho Bay AK. For the work they were posting and the area, I actually genuinely believed it, as living in an average of -10°F would be nothing I’d want even for that kind of pay scale and lack of just about anything amenities wise and etc.
jmzstl@reddit
Indeed is usually using its shitty AI to come up with that info by the title of job postings. I’m willing to be it’s supposed to be monthly, not weekly. Which may still be unrealistic but it would at least be more in line with the pay details in the rest of the post.
CaptainReptile99@reddit (OP)
That's what I was thinking too. That or it's a crappy company who hopes someone is gullible enough to fall for this to fill a truck
Jamo3306@reddit
Back during the boom, my truck made 9-11k a week and I got 30% of that. I wonder if that's what its SUPPOSED to say?

he's talking about picking up a few buddies to sit in the bunk while you go from larado to Chicago
