    I think they're okay for a beginner to get experience while accepting that you might as well stay out a few months at a time. I mean yeah you can argue to get home at certain time, or try staying out so you can try to make money. Maybe bail on them after 6 months if you're not locked into a year contract with a school.

    Not on most of the fleet. The trucks aren't very well equipped.

    I drove for PAM and all I can say is the most I ever made was 900$ before taxes. They pair you with a random person for 6 months. It's shotgun luck.

    Here are some other starters to consider.

    Schneider
    Prime
    Stevens
    Conway Truckload
    Averritt

    Do your research, don't hasten your decision

    I'm looking at a dedicated route with PAM as well and they quoted me a rate that is really low. Compared to other companies the rate is almost 6-8 cents lower than other companies are offering. But the trade off is the home time Because it is dedicated.

    I'm not a driver yet, but from all the research I've done I've seen the PAM is the lowest paying company out there.

    I enjoyed the dedicated I stumbled into. But home was 300 odd miles from the southern end.
    I would have lost it anyway to go home but I lost it because the truck broke.
    I saw a PAM trailer being pulled by a Century.
    Almost had to be an OO. I wouldn't think any of those Crappy old Freightshakers were left!
