EdASmallFleetDriver Thanks this. -
I'm currently having prime run my information. I'm down for the February 6th date if i pass. I meet the minimum standards so I'm hoping ill get in. With kllm i am going through the process right now but they go through the college so it may take some time

That's still not questions x'D
morpheus and firemedic2816 Thank this. -
Oh sorry I forgot that part. I was mostly wondering how the equipment is and also the miles
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
Recruiters will always throw that keyword "average" around to make unsuspecting potential new hires believe they can make a certain amount of money and you will get an abundance of miles. When recruiters speak average, theyre talking about the very top wage earners, not the median average, which is a huge difference. And there's a lot of variables that determines your pay: type of loads (drop and hooks vs live load/unloads), milage pay and Fleet managers and dispatch. Yes, recruiters are trained to talk up all the great and wonderful opportunities of a truck driver, BUT what they will not do is back their claims in writing and with a guarantee. It won't be until you take the job and they have you in the truck that you'll realize the reality of being a company OTR or Regional driver... how much they lie and and how greatly in denial they are when you ask them about the reality of trucking. These recruiters, as well as most fleet managers and people in dispatch, have absolutely no experience driving a truck over the road and therefore don't posses a CDL, but will tell you how great the position is.... a position they would never themselves want to ever have.
Here's something to consider if you want to find out if you're underpaid for all the hours you put in driving:
1.Write down all the hours you've used from your 14hr labor clock before taking your 10hr reset everyday from the beginning of your pay period to the end pay period.
2. Take your accumulated hours for the week and divide it by what you were paid before taxes for that pay period.
The total will be what you would have been paid by the hour for the check you received. Minimum wage is $7.25
Senator Cory Booker proposed the Truck Safety Act that imposes company truck drivers be paid by the hour in addition to being paid by the mile.Need4Speed, Coolbreezin, Highway_Executive and 2 others Thank this. -
