ARG Trucking (A division of Wadhams)

Hey all, first time poster here.

I'm a recent CDL grad in Upstate NY and have been applying to various local jobs in my area (Hudson Valley region of NY). I recently got a call back from ARG Trucking performing bulk petroleum hauling saying they would like to interview me next week.

Is there anyone on here who has experience with them? Either worked for, currently working, or knows someone who has worked or is currently working for them? I know the pay during training is 13-something an hour and .35 per mile. After completion, the hourly rate goes up to 16-something an hour and mileage remains at .35 per mile. It increases periodically over the course of a year to an hourly rate of (I believe) $20 an hour and (I want to say) close to, or over, .40 per mile.

My questions are:

- How many many miles are in a typical night?
- How long (time) are the average nights on the job?
- How much money can one reasonably expect to make (gross or take home) per paycheck?
And most importantly;
- Is it worth it to pursue a career here over a career with Con-way Freight?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

 

Thanks! I'll definitely interview for the position. I have an interview with Con-way a day after my interview with ARG, so I'm just trying to weigh my options. I know a fair amount about the workings of Con-way, but almost nothing about ARG.

 

Thanks, I am relatively new to the industry, so I feel it would be valuable experience, if not a "career". Con-way sure would be nice, I'm just not confident about my chances of getting on there. We'll have to wait and see.
