I'm just curious about pay? I'm in my 3rd month of driving and I started at .34cpm plus .05 cpm per diem and 1.5 cpm holiday for a .405 cpm total. I run Midwest auto parts for Toyota and Ford mainly I'm home every weekend and get 2900-3700 miles week. Is that average or above or below? Thank you all
new driver pay

Everything is good I guess but I wouldn't do the per diem. Not enough tax advantage for most people to make it worth it. Give me the straight 40 cent a mile. It was put in to benefit the company not the driver.

I work for kc transportation. Main office is in Carlton mi but I run out of Princeton Indiana
-
Averages out to nearly 70k, which is pretty good really regardless of experience. Wouldn't be crazy about the per diem though.
Curious to know if you do end up making that much at years end though. Good things have a way of fizzling out just when you get used to it. -
You can get into LTL and make almost 20 cpm more pulling doubles.
-
Yup. Most LTL you're home every night or day. And make about 70k also.
bubbagumpshrimp Thanks this. -
$21.75/hr. LTL (P&D trainee...not line haul).
-
You'll have to get O.T. to hit 70k. But it would be similar to the auto parts gig you got going. Just more interaction with different customers.

Some of you guys aren't the greatest at math. 40 cpm will give you an average of 40-50 k a year. Nobody runs 3,000 miles plus a week consecutively all year. That's impossible with this industry.
