He wants us to post our miles, rates, accessorial pay, etc etc etc. I don't see it happening in here, or any other section for that matter.

Average starting wage in flat deck in Canada is usually around 36-38 cpm. Average ends up around $45K-50K for the first year. Most deck companies don't pay the big bucks to newbies, you have to prove yourself capable of driving the truck first, then you get the good stuff.

Some aren't.
I am currently a baker for a health-food company in North Idaho. I make $11/hr and work about 32 hours/wk, with less in the winter, and often 40+ in summer. My last years gross income was $19,600ish. Year before was $16,000ish. I don't mind anyone I work with knowing these figures, or anyone online, for that matter. That is just my personality though, I don't mind sharing and I don't identify strongly with my wage.
Some people consider these more private details, and that seems to be the prevailing attitude on this forum. Fair enough. -

It depends on your goals but if you work for one of the big carriers that everyone pushes you toward the most you'll ever do is get by. Don't take the easy route.
Also that link you keep posting is crap money in my opinion from what I read of it. I would push the yellow button for that amount of money, it's not worth the stress.Airborne, snowman_w900, TripleSix and 9 others Thank this. -
What most recruiters don't tell you is that their drivers don't always make maximum miles every week due to scheduling errors, weather/traffic/construction delays, personal limitations (illness) or a vast array of other reasons. They are selling you on their company and will promise you the Moon if it means signing up.
Go with a company that gives you the best training and most consistent miles. You won't make any money with a company that picks last minute loads off the load board after you are done unloading and call in to the office. Nor one that doesn't teach you everything you need to know to thrive in this industry.
I got into this just over two years ago out of commercial driving school, after a year and a half I started training and now I'm being moved into the office and being made a full-time trainer, tester and having direct input on hiring, safety and orientation. Anything can happen if you put in the hard work, dedication and show you are capable of doing everything asked of you without complaining.narcolepticltd, Airborne, Feanor and 2 others Thank this. -
