    You can make $450 a week at Mcdonald's. A driver's pay should be between $800 to $1000 a week.

    $1000 a week with no experience....not gonna happen. My unemployment is about to run out. I am getting back in the military in August. Just looking to find something to do until then. $450 a week is better then $0 a week IMO.

    Your right... $450 a week is better then nothing. But let me tell you, it is cheap cheap cheap labor.

    That training isn't free when they are robbing you a few hundred a week. When I started 10 years ago in the last reccession, I was taking home $750 a week easily.

    The $450 per week is just the flat rate while you are out with a trainer. When you go solo you get paid by the mile.

    It not exactly free. You still have to give them 12 months or pay them for the school.

    Yep it's $450 a week while with the trainer and then it goes to $0.28 a mile. Still low I know, but better than the 22 cents CRST pays and Swift never told me..

    Said this before, they are using me, just as much as I am using them.

    Their web site says $.08 cents. Per Diem isn't all that bad. As a network engineer I used to live off mine..
