Again ######## about pay, the low greenhorn pay is just way to far off base. Its not low by industry standard, it would be slightly above average. For almost anyone breaking into any industry that doesn't require a advanced degree to make 42k+ in your first year is quite hard and you will do that here with out much issue. Even with 2 years experience you are looking in the 52k range in trucking, which is not going to be the 1000+ a week take home pay, before taxes sure, after not a chance. You are talking in the range of 60-65K a year before taxes to do that, and you aren't going to do that in the trucking industry unless its oil field, OSOD, union, some ltl, expedite, or private fleets. Your not going to find company drivers flat/van,reefer, making .50-.60 cent a mile ( at 120k miles a year ) needed to pull that kind of money anymore legally. Now on a coloring book that is a different story.

 

well all I will say my first yr ave was .405 a mile which is more then friends of mine that have been driving 3-5 yrs with much bigger companys there fore I am very happy with the way things are going other then right at this moment I,m sitting at KW in Harrisionburg Va but it has nothing to do with Millis I got some bad def when I fueled up in Roanoke at TA

 

Yeah truck issues can happen anywhere. I had 900 miles on mine and had to be towed in. But no problems after that.

 

Were you heading southbound on 220 near ridgeway around 1:00ish?

 

nope was heading northbound abt on 220 but a bit earlier probably abt 1130

 

Thought I passed ya, well there's your answer 220 will break a truck....lol

 

I had to give up T660 last wed,(TRADED IN) moved into a T700 left brf to Markham Il. delivered. Heading to streator lost all turn signals and 4 ways, Premium care told me to take it to petro, 23 hrs later( 10 hr break included) petro gave up couldn't fix it, so I was sent to kw thur. morning. Its is Wed again and truck just got fixed sort of, KW also could not fix my problem and bypassed something to get me going.
The good. I was close to home and I'm being paid for all my time(5 days) sitting w/out a truck.
More good, heading to Richfield for a new T680.

Very little complaints here

 

so you got paid for your truck being down? must be nice. I was not. my truck was down for a week for an engine harness. i didnt get jack. Also db those totals are with bonuses.

 

I have always got pd when I was broke down never had any problem getting paid the last time did,nt even ask for it was down 4 days and received it

 

Yeah.... which means I was payed .42 a mile my first full year OTR. Bonus or not I was still paid that.
