iam a new driver 4 months in, on a contract.
i understood what i was getting myself in.I was prepared financially to not make much money.

Frankly I am learning about the business, about trucking , and what those cie get away with. Its A struggle to get back home, and living with a codriver for a month or more at the time is more than challenging.

my bring home income is less than a 1000.00 a month, I dont rely on this income to live, however i find it insulting.

I Have a few ideas what i will do once the contract is done with, but one of these is not to stay here.

Have you looked at PAM Dedicated Division? They run only teams and I've heard good things about the company overall. I believe they run alot to Texas and back up to Ohio. Their Dedicated division is headquartered in N. Jackson Ohio, South of Cleveland.

Are you kidding? I can't believe anyone would have the gall to pay that little. I made that with the first semi-truck trucking co I worked for, and that was almost 33 years ago. The company I worked for was also one of the lowest paying around.

A company which pays .11 today deserves to go under.

1975 wages, .11 mile, paid hub miles for all miles run, $10.00 for first drop and $2.00 per drop for all drops afterward. Two loads a week, 10-20 drops per load, all new furniture.

It seems as if trucking has gone backward instead of forward.

You could go to another company, and buy out your on contract..and still make more money.

That contract does not FORCE you to stay. It mearly makes you liable for payment if you leave.

You could get another.19 a mile easily with any respectable company.

I was knocking down 6-800 a week in 1985 pre tax. I'm not doing much better now, but I'm home a whole lot more. And, it would be a cold day in *&^% before I would work for .11 a mile.

I understand the contract is financial obligation. if i plan on doing my own business owning my own authority, hell i can do that tomorrow. if i want to work with some other cie before i venture on my own , the deal is that they wont release the experience i have with them.

Oh yeh? Who says? Them or your Attorney?

Another company tactic/lie to keep the new guys in line.

And YES I know that to be a fact. My attorney handled it quickly over the phone...for $75

Don't believe everything companies tell you. And, if you don't believe me. Call a lawyer.

Dance, I am going to leave under contract but I think I may have to buy it out because other companies are afraid CRST will sue them for hiring drivers that signed their contracts before they are up. Any info on that? I have been there for three months and haven't seen a profit yet. I literally have not gotten a paycheck since I started driving. My deductions eat it up.....it's a terrible wage.
