I was in training for 8 weeks. The training pay is about $500/week.
I just started at Dot 7 months ago and I had no previous experience. I was promised a minimum of $50K my first year. I am a driver in CA.
I think the pay for unloading the trucks is more than fair. For example, the load I just took up to Tacoma, WA was about 3,300 cases spread out...
I work for Dot Foods out of Modesto, CA and our trucks are governed at 60 or 65 (driver preference) because we get a $.03/mile bonus for driving...
