They turn off the Jake brake and cruise control for the first 6 months with rookie drivers. Not a place to stay long term, just a place to get some training and expierence under your belt.
I understand all trucking companies start and $0.26 - $0.27 cpm with brand new people.... am I wrong?

That sort of seems right, though I don't know for sure. I do know that the time kind of flies, after I think 3 or 6 months you get a .01/mile raise, another one after 3 months, and then at a year you get .30/mi.

See this is where I tend to not understand the problem people have. They told me that they like to keep drivers out 5 weeks at a pop. Its really a place where if you want to get out and drive while earning cash (though not as much as perhaps other places). If being out that long is a problem for you, I'd advise not working there. I do agree with the "not a place to stay long at" part though.
