| Stuck Like Chuck !! I have been working for CCC Transportation in Jacksonville, Florida for 6 months now. They keep hiring new drivers but keep placing many of us on Stand-Bye at least once a week. They have mastered the ability of paying everyone $10.00 a hour even though we are payed a percentage of each load. We also don't get payed for empty miles. Today I delivered a load of white cement to a customer that was 2.5 miles away from our terminal, and that was all I got for the day. Payed $10.00 for 1 1/2 hours of work. Anyway, I'm frustrated that it seems like getting another job with a better paying regional company is impossible until I have 1 year of experience or more. Does this thought process seem correct. I'm worth more than $10.00 an hour with a CDL in my pocket. Airlingus   |

| How much was the load billed out at and what percentage are you supposedly being paid?? On percentage of load you usually don`t get paid m/t miles, your rate should be high enough to cover m/t miles tho. |

| I get 23% per load with an average of 5 loads on a 6 day work week. Here is the kicker, round trip from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach is 506 miles with a truck that is set # 57 MPH. It pays $117.00. which equals .23 cents per mile, well below the national average per mile from what I have found. It takes 11 1/2 hours round trip which is legal for Florida time behind the wheel. |

| To do better you'll probably have to go OTR first as Country said. It can be hell on a family life, but pay out better in the longrun
