There are a few things I don't like here for one it is a forced $.10 cent prediem I would not do that if I didn't have to also we run from Iowa to the east coast a lot like 85% of the loads go east so you have to deal with union lumpers witch may be the lowest form of life on this planet it is not unlikely to sit 5 to 8 hours to get unloaded if your on time for your appointment if your late it can be days -
Team training pay is $325.00 or less after taxes and deductions. They say pretax of course it's $400 non hazmat/$450 hazmat.
If you need money now I recommend you take as few optional deductions as possible, such as medical, dental etc. All these will be taken out weekly from your training pay leaving you with possibly less than the $325.00 a week I suggested.
I have been OTR status for 12+ months teaming. A lot folks call this company a starter company , but I have been satisfied and plan on sticking around longer. I have been dry van majority of those months seeing on average $750wk. If you can, go Reefer it's literally Coast to Coast, my first week reefer my partner and I pulled over 6500 miles.
Your success and income will depend upon YOU, YOUR PARTNER AND YOUR FLEET TEAM. -
On the refrigerator runs, how many stops do you have a week?
-
Most trips are 2,000+ per run, you can get about 3 loads a week, 1 stop per load.

When i started my training in april 2014 ; $525 a week before taxes was the pay..with my hazmat endorsement of course.
After taxes looking at around $400ish a week take home depending if you have any deductions, insurance, child support, etc...
After training i was taking home $800-$1000 a week after taxes with per diem... ONLY because i have no deductions in my check like insurance,child support, 401k, etc... -
What kind of amenities did you have in the truck? A refrigerator, or place to put a TV or laptop?
