20c/mile new driver. Worth it?

I think the OP is confused and it's 20 cents per driver for 20,000 miles a month or 1000 a Week per driver.
BTW still too cheap IMO.

 

Since OP is Canadian have to ask do Canadian company’s pay by the Kilometer or by the mile? If so it might be possible to team drive 20K kilometers a week.

 

12,427 miles = 20,000 kilometers.

 

I started at $0.35 per mile three years ago at my company. Hourly pay with local training for 6-8 weeks, then start on the highway and be out max 5-6 days at a time.

You'd think with the so-called "driver shortage", companies would be more willing to not screw drivers from the start of their new career.

 

Just checking Canada is on the metric system isn't it? So i'd be 20c per km not miles ? which is better cause you tend to do more km however if its 20c per mile that's really low and poor unless that's taking out your paying back for the training then i guess it'd be ok. Like you said though if thats your only option then best go with it, low pay is always better then no pay or working at Macca's which is like working for no pay anyway.

 

Canadian companies pay by the mile as well. It is rare to see paid by km.

 

20,000 miles per month for team , not per week
if you drove those 8000 miles per month you would then have
$ 1600.00 for the month or $ 400.00 per week .

also your 70 hours per week will affect the miles you do , you have stops to load ,, stops to unload ,

 

The Canadian trucking industry is built on using BOTH metric and US imperial systems. Outside of the bulk industry that stays in Canada, most companies just run on imperial full time. Miles, feet and inches, because most Canadian carriers go to the US and need to use that system.
