How much experience?

One year, I believe. I found a reference to "recognize one year experience. "

You attend an abreviated orientation, held at a quicker pace. If your experience was with flatbeds, it is only three days. You may be assigned a truck immediatly or you may have one to several weeks of training depending on how well you do in orientation. If it was pulling something other than a flatbed it is five days and then you have two to four weeks with a trainer learning flatbed securement.

 

I'm not saying it will be any different than what the recruiter told you, but understand the recruiter doesn't make those decissions. Once you are evaluated, it might very well be only two weeks.

I still say percentage is the way to go. Converted to mileage numbers percentage on average will pay you .40 to .50 cents per mile. A lot of drivers will make between $50K and $60K even with the 2, 3 or 4 weeks with a trainer. Even some inexperienced drivers will make that much.
