Awesome Walstib! You are FLYING out of the gate! You'll do well. Sure beats the heck out of Flight Instructing, eh?
-
NO WAY!...Nothing beats getting paid to fly!...Just no money in that so I'll save that love for when I retire!
I am having a blast though...Jarhed1964 and wulfman75 Thank this. -
This is awesome Walstib. Hope they keep you rolling like that. How much do they pay you in the 10 day orientation/training? After you get out on your own, how much per mile? Inquiry minds want to know!
-
$400 for orientation and .25cpm afterwards then .27cpm after 90 days.

Thanks AT. I meant to say 10 day... So how does this work with WS? I go to tech school, get my class A and I can apply with them for the no driver trainer deal?
I went to their website but could not find any info about it. Maybe I did not look in the right place. -
while your in school fill out the app and start the hireing process with your recruiter. then you'll attend a 1o day paid orientation, then you go solo.
the website is less then helpfull unforunatly...
American Trucker -
Sorry for all the questions. Last two. What is the cpm pay at 6 months and 1 year?
Any complaints from company drivers about having to sit too long for loads?
Thanks. -
