22¢@mile split teams CRST just say it 11¢@ MILE

I think the .22 cpm basically just means you both get .22cpm BUT. you split the miles.

As in if you get 5000 miles,,you both are paid .22 cpm for 2500 miles

 

One way to look at it is the truck gets paid 22 CPM for the total miles of both drivers.
Then you just split the check.

OR you get 11 CPM for double the miles of a solo trucker.

so you basically get 22 CPM for the miles you drive. And nothing for the miles your partner drives.
or you could say that you get 11 CPM the whole time the truck is moving.

your pay rate is the same as a solo driver making 22 CPM.

 

So its still only $550. for the 2500 miles. Thats still crap wages for what you have to put up with to earn it.

 

$.22 a mile???? Oh PLEASE pick my stupid old arse up off the floor before I laugh a body part off!

WHAT KIND OF MORON would actually turn the key and push in a brake knob and put a truck in gear for this embarrasment caller DRIVER PAY?

THEN actually come into a public forum and admit that this is what they signed a agreement to work for and complain?

Drivers wonder why they have no respect! Why does this BFI called CRST even have a truck on the road? Are these rookies so poor and broke they think they are actually making anything? HECK, they can actually claim unemployment benifits or unearned income!

No wonder these BFI's stay in buisness! People willing to work for crapola pay while the higher up's reep all the benifits! Screw them!

 

They all want to get that magical one year experience.

Even if they have to do it for free.

 

I had to check this out. Went to CRST website,

http://www.joincrst.com/students_pay.php#exp

The way I read it, new students get paid $.22 per mile. All miles are split. As someone pointed out, as a team you run 5000 miles, you get paid $.22 per mile for 2500. That is just for the first 2 months and it goes up from there. After 12 months, a student should be at $.31 per mile, then you drop to the "experienced" pay scale.

Not sure what the industry standard is, but as a team you should be able to turn 5000 miles a week.

If you didn't research this, then it's your fault. Quit whining.

 

Why do people even bother to work for that rate. CRST is making a killing off you guys.

My guys start at .35 and work their way up.

Just say "NO" to cheap freight and pay.

 

Sounds like CRST is setting the new pay standards for the trucking industry!

 

All I can say is WTF & who signs up for this shizt, come on.
