    Better hurry if you are going to Prime. Rumor has it anyone hired after June 3rd has to do 50,000 miles in training, and you won't be getting a truck until they have one for you, which means you could be going farther than 50,000 miles. I heard they are also cutting down the number of new hires they are accepting.

    Millis pays .43cpm for all miles the truck is dispatched on while in trainin . Doesnt matter if the trainer is driving or the trainee is driving, the trainee is getting paid .43cpm for all the miles until he has 15,000 miles driven.

    I got paid $26.50/hr to train. Pretty much any ltl company will pay more to train.

    Is heartland going to run it under heartland or leave it as a seperate company. Many times things stay the same except the owner.
