Virginia is not in the hiring are of this trucking company but you can see what they pay new drivers. The will pay for training at local school to them. They don't run their trainer trucks as team. They run them as solo drivers. Most trucking company that train, run their trucks as teams because. That's the only way to pay for two driver. Lots of trainers are just guys looking to make money. That's how they do it, that's how the trucking companies sell people on being a trainer. The trainer gets paid for all the miles the truck runs. That's a lot of miles because the trucking company runs the truck like a team, 1,200 miles in 24 hours. So you can see not a lot of good training time.
I was trainer we for a big trucking company. It just to hard running the truck 24/7 and trying to show someone stuff. Just not enough time. That's what people don't want to think about. Even when I went thru training they say your trainer will show you everything. The trainer has to answer to the trucking company and keep the truck rolling 1,200 miles in 24 hours. So you can see the game they play.

About the best company in VA that hires new cdl school grads is Old Dominion Freight Line.
Call and ask which schools they hire from.
Teams doing long haul can make about $125K for each driver.
Solo drivers can probably make $80K the first year.

What of the old Blue and Grey? They the same? Ive lost too much detail on them in memory. Remember anything about those?
Not all trainers run like team with no time for teaching. FFE had a policy to run no nights when training and have short loads like 230 miles over 6 days on a salary so it have PLENTY of time to pop into a truckstop for some backing drills.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
