Pam Transport- Don't do it.

Unfortunately, none of what you say surprises me.

 

$300! Wow that's disgraceful! How much does McDonald's pay their employees! Pathetic!

 

Did you get another job or have one lined up before quiting? Yeah not much good on Pam that ive ever come across.

 

I talked to a former PAM driver who told me they were paying SEVENTEEN cents per mile. I found it almost too incredulous to believe.

 

When I first began considering driving to (almost) make a living, I saw comments that there was near 100% turnover in the trucking industry and I did not believe this was possible. I know better now, but to see something like this is still hard to believe.

Good luck to you and I hope you find a better paying job. I still have not signed on to anyone's CDL program so I appreciate people like you posting horror stories like this so I don't follow in your footsteps.

 

That would be pretty close; if someone drives an average of 2200 miles for $0.17 a mile they would bring home roughly $300 a week. That is beyond sad.

 

I'm sure that would be .34 split for teams, I worked for PAM years ago and at that time I got .16 for every mile the truck ran. PAM used to run a lot of teams

 

it's closer to 300% at the mega company puppy mills but like any industry it's work ethic , aptitude and ambition that determine success
