Pay

New guy is lucky to make minimum wage.

 

You'll work 120 hours to get paid for 80

 

For most new drivers.

 

Depends on your time off schedule... my uncle ran 7on7off 3on4off and pulled over 50k. Driver who are willing to run 5.5days a week supposedly make over 80k. He retired from them about 5 years ago, not sure what they pay now.

 

Fairly tales. Lying recruiters. $82000 a year at the "generous rate" of .40 cents a mile is over 17000 miles a month. To me it's unattainable.

 

You don't seem to realize that your mileage pay is only part of your pay. Add in activity, and hourly, layover, and all the rest,and the 82k figure is easily attainable. Also your 40per mile,is wrong. I started at more than that 15 years ago and have gotten regular raises.

 

The bitter post some make when they can't make the cut!
