Is this a good deal? Free CDL training, .46cpm and 1 year contract?

No, the Volvo is a fine truck. What they're getting at is many Chicago companies that use Volvos are Russian or Eastern European owned and pay on 1099 vs. W2. The owners are Russian immigrants or Eastern European and know how to make money.
Best, most comfortable truck I ever drove was a Volvo with automatic transmission, running 48 states pulling a liquid tanker trailer. I swore, at that time, if I ever bought a truck it would be a Volvo, raised roof, with Volvo engine married to a Volvo automatic transmission.

I get $0.48 so $0.46 for a new driver sounds almost to good. They could do something like run a lot of notheast or NYC. It could be pulling refer and they don't pay lumpers.

They pay really good but do lots of overnight refer runs.

 

Yes, some of these companies dispatchers are in Eastern Europe.

 

Exactly, higher mileage pay doesn’t mean it’s a better driving job. Companies like CFI, Millis or Carter Express provide training and opportunities for inexperienced drivers and they are W2 companies.
