I Passed my CDL A Road Test, Starting with Crete/Shaffer on Monday. Needing Advice

Are you leaving Pam?

 

One day. Right now I'm pretty happy. Made and saved a boatload of money this, my first year. Had no idea I would run this hard. Just always looking, talking to other drivers. Fascinated by tankers mostly.
Edited to add: and fascinated by the money Crete/Shaffer are paying!

 

Just be careful. Read the fine print. Sometimes companies like these will add the sign on bonus, safety bonus, free meals during orientation, per diem scam etc. What you want is $.50 a mile without per diem and everything else.

 

There's no BS in the pay rate here. Coming over with one year experience, you'd get 45 for Crete, 48 for Shaffer.

 

you have your CDL A look for a local job first then if you like driving then you can go over the road its NOT as easy as people think truck driving is not for everyone just saying BUD!!!!

 

Congrats my friend. Recent grad as well and have a decision to make; Werner or Covenant. Good luck on your training and career sir.

 

Doubt covenant or Weiner is paying nowhere near $.48 a mile. Don't settle for less, it'll never change if you do

 

That's good. That's what noobs should be making. Hopefully everyone else jumps on the bandwagon

 

Just a reminder, the 2500 is not a guarantee unless you're on an actual dedicated. Its what they claim is the low end on average for miles. You won't get that on home time either. Having said that, I rarely hurt for miles when I'm actually running.
