    Hed make more getting you off the truck to get another student. Hed obviously get more miles a week, and he coukd get his finishing bonus on you faster. He also makes 1 cpm for each mile u drive the first year. Other than that, hes driving low miles to get the 20 bucks a day bonus to jave you on board.

    Yes. You should be done by now, upgraded and reading Brandson & ImOutOfHeres story.....waiting for USX to fix your truck for the 20th time. Lol.

    You may be a good driver but you need to make real money and that ain't going to happen as long as your getting trainee pay.
     
    Brandson and woodro662 Thank this.

    Best route is get on a dedicated account. Talk with Teresa Rexrod at the Springfield, OH terminal. She is in charge of that. Most require you to have your HazMat. Rare to haul HazMat but they like you to have it.

    We do Ceva dedicated. Love it ! This company has a lot of different ones. Most are drop & hook.
     
    woodro662 Thanks this.

    Easily $800 but you should be doing $1,000+ on a regular basis.

    Youre not gonna be working much if you make less than 800 teaming, lol. Teamimg with a stranger isnt easy, but it's not that bad either. I got lucky and like who I'm with. Youll find its really not that hard to do 1000 miles a day, and when you can do that, youre gonna make money, lol.
     
    woodro662 and TruckDuo Thank this.

    That is not the standard. What does your trainer say about it?
