    I think you set your expectations way too high, i think looking under a bridge is more like it have you seen some of their drivers....

    LOL, only seen the students preparing to go there during my CDL training. It's funny how they were telling them they're going to make 300k a year as a L/O and going to pocket 60% ($180,000) of that as profit, etc and how they're going to be rich(in not so many words), etc.

    Can I train 4 people at once in the same truck??? 9.25 an hour is amazing made more money as a grocery clerk. Do I have to pay for the security camera watching me while I drive? Or is there a cash advance I can take for this service?!

    and this is what years of ATA board meetings have taught these megas

    after paying pennies, they are up to a nickel, and lets legislate that ALL TRUCKS submit to elogs and speed limiters to "level the playing field"

    you guys laugh now, but these are the folks who are buying politicians and changing the rules we work under

    Not even kidding about CRE training like 3 ppl to a truck I've seen them pile out at truck stops. As for the camera watching you while you drive multiple drivers told me they do that I'm so glad I didn't start with them. 25 cpm is even lower than Werner 26cpm to start I didn't think they could lower the bar any further. Why not just advertise letting us live in the truck for free in exchange we pull their frieght!?? Prime joked about that pretty sure they were serous though.

    well, lets see.

    .26 cpm then you minus the 3 cpm for the so called safety bonus now that puts the driver at .23 cpm then take out the 1cpm for per diem and now you are down to .22 cpm

    seems like a great deal to me......

    I will have to call a few megas as they don't list their cpm on their websites but from what I could scrounge up online. The top 5 companies for newbies to consider would be.

    1. Maverick .44
    2. Prime .43
    3. TMC .40
    4. Melton .37
    5. Millis .36

    These are all starting wage pays for fresh CDL's
