Goodness Gracious. I'm at retirement age and thinking that I might look into driveaway companies. Just got off the phone with AAA Interstate. Driver assumes ALL transportation costs from home to the pickup location and back home AND all hotel costs while in the road. All of that deducted from your $0.70/mile rate for a CDL A.

The drive-away company paid me nothing except the previously agreed upon expenses of getting out there. Not a dime for the day and a half that I put into the project. Apparently, developing a good working relationship with your dispatcher isn't worth squat when there's money on the line.
Penske calls them "hikers" because after drop off you hike out of rural areas to find your own transportation to next dispatch or home. All drive away companies involve a lot of walking back to civilization or $200.00 taxi fees.
