    McDonalds workers earn more than drivers at CR England

    Anyway some places that take noobs and pay okay are Prime, Crete, Tyson foods and Maverick.

    Depends on the hiring area you live in.
    Put your location on your profile.

    Learn to put up with Crap first.

    yeah man Werner is terrible, they are terrible and pay terrible.

    Them and CR England are the only two companies I've noticed nobody ever says anything good about. Yeah I mean ever.

    I did make $1000 bucks when a CR England driver walked up to me he told me he was making .29 CPM, I told him I was making .43 CPM with LESS than a year experience. This guy has nearly two years.
    Well he jumped over here shortly after that conversation.

    Not that Crete/Shaffer is great, nowhere is great but at least I get paid well here for what it is.
    The trucks here are garbage and I run the same lanes a lot even though I'm supposed to be OTR but hey can't have everything.

    Whos a lot worse than Werner?
    I mean low pay and treated lowly.. how much worse can it get?

    I do agree with you about putting up with the crap.
    As a noob you just have to, even I had to.
    It sucked but I knew it would suck to begin and I left my first company once I got some experience.

    I was tranined and did solo in otr and I wouldn't mind doing it again.I want to get paid more than .24 cpm and I know I don't have that much experiance in driving. As long as the truck is a manuel id be good...provided they don't care if I float the gears

    .24 CPM?!?!?!

    :biggrin_25513:

    FYI Tyson foods pays noob .39 once out on their own http://www.tysonfoodscareers.com/Driving/Over-The-Road-Careers/Trainee.aspx

    Prime .43 if you take their smaller truck http://www.primeinc.com/paid-apprenticeship-cdl-training

    .24 CPM is a sad joke....
    I don't know how they get away with that
