40,000 mile training at 15 cents??? help

Yes, you get paid the miles the truck is rolling, whether you're driving or in the sleeper berth when running teams.

 

If this is what you wanna do then you're going to have to deal with it.Solo drivers are starving as well and they're making anywhere from 25 to 35 cpm.Many are'nt even making 300.00 a week because of all the sitting they do and by the time sitting is over they're out of hrs and have to sit some more.I don't know why you wanna pursue trucking anyway.You're gone more then home,you sit sit and sit some more for an insulting wage.You would be better off punching a time clock.Not because of your felony but because trucking is the lowest paid carreer there is.It does'nt even pay minamim wage if you do the math.

 

LOL, don't you know there is a driver shortage......go in there and tell them you want $1.50 a mile all miles paid plus $350 a day layover upfront........LMAO.......yep the same driver shortage there was 10 years ago when I started.......the only shortage is of good paying jobs for well qualified drivers........to you sir, for whatever reason you were hit with a felony, these companies don't care, they will hold it over your head until you prove yourself worthy........this industry has no loyalty, heart or compassion any longer, it's all lies, greed and making your quarterly numbers work to justify your bonus bucks...$$$$$$$$$$$.......honestly sir, you'd get further ahead quicker going to work flipping burgers!!!!

 

ya right,I go in there ask for more money not what you mentioned but just more money and they would do exactly what youre doing,laugh,lol.

 

what is the company?

 

Unless something's changed recently, I'm pretty sure that prime wouldn't hire with a felony. When I went through their process, I had to write a book about three misdemeanor convictions and an arrest that resulted in a trial and a not guilty verdict. If they would give me that much hassle over those things, I don't see where they'd consider someone with a felony unless they're really desperate for drivers right now.

OP, if it is Prime you're considering, then I'd recommend that you suck it up and take what they're offering. Despite what some people think, Prime is a great company to work for.

 

thought prime was paying 500 week guarenteed and .12cents for any milage after 5000 miles a week. That was truck miles not driver miles

 

check craigslist or something. otr is for suckers

 

Just be lucky you have a job with a felony

 

prime guarantees $500.00 for the first 10,000.00 miles (about a month) and $600.00 the remaining 30,00.00 miles (about 2 months) during training then when u go solo its .41 cpm
