#### recruiters

Just started with Total transportation of Mississippi. Recruiters promised me 2500 miles 1200$ a week before taxes. So far my best week has been 700$. I’m litterally drowning in debt from the time I took off for cdl school and the first couple weeks of making only a few hundred. I’m averaging 1500-1800 miles at .41 cents a mile. I hear some many people including friends telling me they are already making 1300+ a week as a rookie.
I don’t mind living in the truck and I never take home time I can’t afford it. I just need some #### money. This company blows. Fleet manager try’s to screw me on detention/layover pay. Says stuff like I’ll get you next time. Or I gave you detention last time…. My truck is old and smells like cigarettes, no apu, no opti idle, no idling unless freezing outside. Inverter can hardly run a microwave.

anyone know of a place I can make decent money as a rookie and not be treated like this. Honestly, all I’m looking for is 1000$ take home. 3 months otr experience.

 

I think the problem is, you're pulling dry vans.

Do you still live in Florida?
Florida pet friendly

 

Yes still live in Florida. Hey china thanks man. Your the real hero

 

Did you talk to Total drivers before you started?

 

Why not go to same company as your friends that are making $1300? Just wondering.

 

No, I went in blind . You hear people say truckers make big bucks. Never thought I’d be making less than the county job I had in Florida.

 

Here's one that requires 3 mos. experience for Florida drivers.
Over-the-Road Class-A CDL Company Driver - KLLM Transport Services

 

Try to snag a coast-to-coast reefer company.

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention

cool thanks I’m going to give them call now. 55c seems reasonable. This 41c isn’t working out. Let me know if you got any other ones thanks a lot china

 

Any recommendations?
