    been driving 2 1/2 years
    Is .40cpm to low to start? I’ve looked and looked at different companies at that seems to be the going rate for that experience?

    Depends on your location which looks to be Wyoming which is probably going rate. But IMO .40 is to low unless you have a gravy dedicated route with big miles.

    Well I wasn’t sure I’ve made .38 when I started out so I guess a penny a year? #### I wish companies would pay .50-60 a mile

    I thought Wally drivers earn 100k on average? At least that's the word on the street...

    The CPM is only about third of the equation. Too many other variables [and realities] have to be considered before judging what a given job opportunity may be.

    New drivers there start out at .38 now under the new rules. Go to the Wal-Mart section here and look at what happened.

    Yeah but walmart has all sorts of "accessorial pay" add ons that have to be factored in. I think they get paid each time they take a crap and paid double if it doesn't float.

    Do they get extra pay for wearing those silly looking white uniform shirts?
