Trying to get in the buisness

Millis Transfer would be better. USX is great for teams, but not so great for solo drivers. With Millis; after all training is complete and you're running solo, the average pay is $50K per yr.

 

Millis pays .34CPM Practical mile for noobs which actually is better than most.
After one year you only get a .02 raise which is not that great, with one year experience you can do a lot better elsewhere.

 

Yes, but they have good assessorial pays on top of milage pay, ie. $100.00 NYC, $1000 sign-on bonus, layover pay, load/unload pay up to $120 per load, stop pay, pickup pay, paid vacation after 12 mos. employment, etc.

I only made .36 cpm pulling hazmat/tankers OTR, but my annual pay added up to $65K annually due to assessorial pays. Some of the drivers made avg. $72K annually. I didn't make that much because I took unpaid time off on top of vacation to hang out overseas.

 

Most places will make you do a refresher or do complete new training as you have no experience after getting your CDL 7 years ago

 

I think Roehl is also $500.00 up front.

Midwest-coast Transport has a 3 week course with no money up front.
Southern Refrigerated Transport has a 4 week course with no money up front. They also provide a hotel room during training and some meals.

 

A few posts from new drivers that went with Midwest-coast and Southern had good experiences with trainers; didn't have the problem you mentioned. Call and ask some questions about that.
