    It is possible but they would have to pay me a million dollars to be a trainer.

    Wow, that's a ripoff... We get paid $20 a day, paid all miles, $350 for upgrade bonus and 1cent a mile for every mile they run for 6 months.

    My trainer made 144k last year and this year net, after all expenses. ( after fuel, lease payments, maintenance account, taxes. Everything.) so just because your not making #### doesn’t mean that’s the case for everyone.

    I averaged 1400 a week as a company driver trainer at CR England. I did it for a month but stopped the money isn't worth the effort I gave and when I found out I'm responsible for any tickets the bonehead gets even after telling the little ####s to read EVERY sign you see and follow and remember the route we planned the gps is only for reference don't blindly follow it. Guess what Bonehead does? Follows the gps and ignores the sign that says no trucks despite me telling him 3 hours ago not to take that street... I still got to pay that $200 non truck route ticket. That and you're going to be one tired cookie, I could only get naps in between whenever there was a long stretch of road.

    Trainers deserve to get paid more and I mean a lot more. They put their life at risk to teach some neanderthal how to drive a rocket
