    You have to work for them for 100K miles then school is free. Is 0.27 cpm with NO prior experience too little?

    I started in '04 at .27 mile, kind of the norm, if the miles are there though you'll still see decent paychecks.

    You are a new driver no its not the best of money but you will still get a decent paycheck like trashtrucker said if you get the miles. It a start and we all have to start somewhere.

    If they are not charging for the school if you run 100k miles I do not think that is too bad a sacrifice.
    Most of the training company's will boost you to .30 by the end of the first year, but will charge you 50 bucks a week or so for the school for a year. Then will call it even after a year.
    If it is a full OTR company you should get 120k miles your first year. So you will not have to stay that low too long.
