CRST, CREngland..these aren't the best jobs, but its a foot in the door.

 

a foot in the door of the greyhound station so you can take a bus to the wellfare office You cannot support a family on CRE or CRST wages

Funny you should say that. My wife and 3 kids seem to be doing fine.

 

just think how much better they'd be doing if you were getting paid a fair wage....





American Trucker

 

You do know the .22/mi is only for 3 months right? And I am not a defender of the company but for the cost of school, its not a real bad trade off.

Now let me know what you consider a fair wage for 2 years OTR is and then I will determine if I am being treated "fair"

 

I've been OTR for 1 year, 2 months and will be starting my new job December 5th at .42cpm....

I also have almost 3 years local exp too (just so you dont ask why my info says 3 years)

Yeah, I read that, and you are also going flatbed and SHOULD be getting paid higher...you didn't answer the question on what you believe a fair wage is for 2 years OTR...and I am not picking a fight, I legit would like to know what your opinion is.

 

2 years OTR pulling a Van/reefer .36-.40cpm. (just a side note for the lower end there should be some good accesorial pay, good miles, good benefits, D/H, nice trucks, good CSA score, etc to make up for the low cpm.) <- not saying all of those things but some of them at least
