I like that idea of incentivizing results. Stevens also has goals for the trainees. They have to do two mountain passes, and bump a NE dock. But yeah, making the quality of the driver reflect in the reward of the trainer is a good idea.

Our guys get a straight $3 bucks per hour so between 30 and 45 per day extra.

Idk if ours get extra cpm; they do get all of the trainees miles and like a $500 bonus if the trainee successfully upgraded to solo.
My sister said her swift trainer got a few cpm off her miles for the first 6-12mos.fridayafternoonvibes Thanks this. -
My company pays trainers a flat 10cpm above their regular rate while training.

I’m a finisher at my company. I get $500 extra per week plus the extra miles that the truck runs. If the trainee is with me over 3 days, I get the full $500. If not, then it’s $100 per day. My trainees come to me ready to go solo. We run out west and back so I can grade them. When we get back, it’s either solo, more training or shown door. I use to train full time, but that got old for these old bones, now I do it once or twice a month.
JustCallMeDriver and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
You're doing the right thing helping these new drivers and I wish you got the proper compensation for it.
