    Hey, .35 isn't really that bad if you get the miles. And everyone has to start somewhere. I'd take it.

    $0.35 x 120,000 miles a year is $42,000 a year. That doesn’t sounds to bad. Pay can go up once you get more experience

    I started at $0.21 many years ago ha ha

    I beat even that @8.5 cpm and driver unload for $10.00
    Still better than flipping burgers or punching a time clock in a factory.

    I started out at .28 ¢ a mile with CRST back in 2014. Though I'm only making $.57 ¢ a mile with JB Hunt, I had get the experience necessary in order to qualify for this meh position.
    We definitely have to do what we have to do til we can get to where you want be.

    You need to know a lot more than just cents per mIle or CPM to decide about a job. Your pay is calculated on the CPM multiplied by the miles you drive. I can pay you $8 dollars per mile and only give you 40 miles per week. Is that better than 35 COM and a 1,000 miles per week?

    In the early 1980's John Campbell was president and Gary Kelley was in charge of hiring drivers and local operations. I remember Ben Mitchell, Ed Brind, Rufus Demm and others. The Saturday meetings at the Red Barn were great for fried chicken.

    Robert Low and Steve Wutke are in charge. Robert started Prime at 19 years of age. Wutke did start with Midwestern in Fort Scott.
