Highest paying company for regional/otr for RECENT GRADS???

You have to get the experience in first, then choose your path. inexperienced drivers like us will not make more than .32 to .38 pm for atleast 6 months.

 

The position I qualified for in my area will average 128k miles a year making .38 pm after 1 year. I can be happy with that starting out.

 

He's from Philly he starts these threads every few days. He doesn't want to leave philly. He wants to drive a straight truck, and he thinks because he has a class A licence somehow they are going to give him higher pay.

 

Some LTL carriers are hiring new drivers. I think ABF and Conway Freight both take students in certain areas. It certainly doesn't hurt to check them out either.

 

Oh...ok...well that makes...wait...huh?

 

Are you willing to run 14-16 hours a day, for 5 1/2 days, followed by a quick reset and then back at it again? Are you cool with running all night long and then taking a quick 10-hour break during the day? Are you willing to run illegal if your dispatcher pushed you to do so? Get ready pal, because the first 2-3 years is likely to be a tough ride... but it can be done!
