    In my experience the companies that pay higher starting out have more stingent hiring cirteria, and the expectations WILL BE higher. The training programs
    are pretty in depth lasting a couple weeks. "We expect you to know how to drive (shift & backup), we are not driving school.

    Training for this company was 3 weeks. Every other company I've worked for was a week. But tankers there's a lot to learn. Paid $12 a hour and we ran 60 hour weeks during training.

    Why ask the question now? Shouldn't this have been part of your research before deciding on this career. IMHO.

    I think Maverick flatbed takes recent grads, probably a quick ladder up the pay scale. Good luck.

    Apply to ltl companies. Its hard work and some days can be pretty challenging, but you should be able to make half-decent money as a new driver starting out.
