Need advise

Today I was offer a job with a food distributor company driving a straight truck to local supermarkets, but they told me that the pay is 13.00 an hour with plenty of overtime. My question is: even though is a straight truck, should their be a minimum I should get with a class A cdl? or is 13.00 ok since is going to be my first job? I really have to think about this because no truck company wants to give me an opportunity because I have no experience, but then again I don't want to be played for a fool either. So, should I take the job or keep looking?

Thank you and any advise will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for all the replies. But I was just told that no one with a CLASS A CDL should not get paid anything less than 15.00. Do you guys think that there is still no "set pay" in this business?

I got this info from the driving school I attended. The school is advising me that I should go otr, but I just can't at the moment.

 

Thanks for all the advise. I went to the company and got interviewed and I start on Monday with starting pay at 17.50 an hour plus health, dental, and vacation benifits. Once again thanks for all the replies and advise.
