    I was solo on the 11 western. Sliding scale .45 - .21 cpm. I saw mostly .21 and spent most of my time in the mid states with a trip to VA, MS and TN. They will send you any where they need to. Oh and dh miles were .15 cpm. Needless to say I made no money and left after 4 months. Start my new job on the 2nd. Good luck and don't believe what the recruiters tell ya. I was told I would make $650-$800 a week, I never made more than $500 and that was before health ins was taken out.

    ####, I can stay home in my SHORTS AND A T-SHIRT and make $500 a week almost wow! that's crazy but I guess like anything else you have to pay your dues, I know guys here that run Coal from the mine and are doing $250-350 a day...hmmmm

    theres plenty of other companies to go to as a newbie,trust me just do your hw. werners not worth it. i also ran 11 west. my biggest check in 6 mos was $460, and my weekly checks averaged 200-350. i had friends working back home at fast food places part time making more than i was.

    i went to conway(i believe they hire students) and jumped up to .32 ALL MILES. i havent had a check under 600 here yet.

    Thats not paying your dues thats called getting raped!:biggrin_2556: I was talking home AFTER taxes $800-$1000 a WEEK within my first few weeks OTR. I very rarely see less then that, you need to do ALLOT more research! lol

    I see you live in UT, Look into Watkins Shepard, thats who I work for we have a terminal in SLC.
