Ok I turn 21 next month so Im filling out some apps now. Whats a good starting wage for someone to put down with 3 years local straight truck driving experience, cdl training school, and a half descent driving record for a flatbed company? I was paid hourly before and not really sure what I should put as this company normally hires much more experienced drivers soo asking what they normally start out is kinda a longshot.
How about the word "FREE"! That will get their attention & they most likely won't pay you much anyhow!
I always leave three things blank on an application: Pay expected How much I made at previous jobs Reason for leaving past employers As a new flatbed driver, you should expect a minimum of .32 CPM, or at least 20% of the load, I would say.
