What kind of paycheck is realistic for new drivers?

I'm at that Atlanta terminal somet

Yeah they dont pay you during school. They did give me a gift card half way through for a few hundred, I forget the amount. I got a room and 3 square a day. I saved some cash before starting... Paid up my bills a full month and some spending money.

Roehl pays you during school if I remember right.

 

Lol! Yeah its wild sometimes. The biggest thing is just putting up with them. I did know a guy that had his trainer roll a truck. Ya gotta go out with a trainer at least.

 

School is a. Lot of fun though when you finally get there. Driving out on the roads real time sucked. I was nervous as hell sweating my ### off. But the backing range was a blast.

 

Do your self a favor and stay away from the mega training companies you listed. Find a small mom and pop that I have never heard of and you will make more money with fewer cattle prods controlling your every move.

 

KLLM owns FFE and has a school in Mississippi.

 

I would say taking home $1k per week is doable but that requires staying out and running rather than going home every 2 weeks.

 

That is ####### dumb as ####.

 

Even swift pays like $250 a week while training.

 

It helps tremendously to connect with a good pizza delivery near the dispatcher. Yes... I'm talking bribery... Dispatchers can't resist pizza.

 

750 for 3 weeks... Better than nothing I guess. What happens after school is more important. I get more than 750 for my home time week, not working at all. Lol
