[QUOTE="PIKARUX, post: 9412057, member: 275412"]Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Yes I am exited to start this new career, as a Shipper and Receiver for the last decade I was in constant comunication with truck drivers, I heard lots and I mean lots of stories about this trucking industry from them. I am not looking (for now) to buy my own truck, just want to go out and drive a company truck and learn the ropes and see if I like this new career. [USER=271744]@Velos[/USER] my underestanding is that the company have different types of rates (per hour or cpm) depending of what I am doing ( shunting, local, long regional, short regional or US/Canada). Some of this jobs are flat rate per trip, flat rate per hour or cents per mile. In the cents per mile case I got two jobs offers when I was looking for job, one for 52cpm and one for 48cpm. I decided to go with the second one (.48cpm) because my schedule, company reputation, company location and the kind of work/routes was better.
