Newbie Pay

**DaReallyst** · 06.20.2012

Sorry asking this but I've searched for the past 4 hours for the pay breakdown for recent grads and I just can't find it anywhere. So please some one help me out...

I did find that during the 8 weeks of team driving you split .32 cpm. What is the pay after that? I have 2 offers so far and I graduate school in 2 weeks. I'm trying to decide on a company to start my career with and thus far USX has been the leading company.

Thanks in advance for your help

team pay in first eight weeks is 38 cpm split works out to 19 cents for your driving half.
the solo pay is paid on a sliding scale

DaRealyst.....I'm in the same boat as you, graduating in 3 weeks..........besides studying for the course, all I've been doing is looking at trucking companies online.
If you find a big difference with one that really stands out please let me know. I'm looking for the BEST pay....don't care where I drive or how long, "bene's" are basically the same.

I'm also thinking about USX, one reason they have a terminal here in Jacksonville, so if they're all basically the same, why not?

is jacksonville a terminal or a drop yard.

ATL-1, thats a very good question! I know they do "orientation" at that yard in Jacksonville, their building contains numerous offices, and every time I ride by there are some 50 of their tractors in the yard, most look brand new, unassigned, but only
a minimum number of trailers. They look like they are on the same property (side by side) of ARNOLD! I gotta believe they are an "associated" company, even though they have separate offices.
Looks like they also have a large maintenance garage, as well. So I'm not really sure I know the difference between a "drop yard" and a "terminal".............JEEEESH........talk about me being a NEWBIE!
