i see they want you to pay 500 upfront and three weeks theres no pay.. but have all great reviews.. and you pay your own way up there as well
Abilene has driver facing cams. Only our very newest Volvos have that radar stuff, but new hires are very unlikely to get one of those...unless they are hired as a team as those trucks usually go to teams.
Abilene will pay to get you to Richmond or have a driver pick you up. In my case I rented a car one way and they reimbursed me for the car and the gas. I can't say if they still do that though. You don't have to pay anything to the company up front and you start getting paid from the first day of orientation. Trainees get a flat rate daily pay I think it's about $75 per day. That increases in the different training phases up to $100 per day. I was given my own truck before I got to that rate though.
Plenty of miles here if you want them. I average over 3000 miles a week and have on occasion hit 4000. The only limitation is your hours, not their loads. I'm still here because I don't think I can do better at another 48 state OTR company. Others may pay more per mile, but may not have as many miles...or you have to drive a ratty old truck...or do flatbed or whatever else I have seen and don't like.
Millis is 500 upfront, if you’re a veteran, it’s another 500 at 100 per week. If you’re not it’s another 2000, 100 per week while training, and I believe 30 per week once you’re out on your own. The .42 cpm while training is great pay. My first 2 weeks were over 2500 miles, wanted more but the trainer doesn’t want more miles than that, so I’m stuck there til on my own..
Most are 2015s and newer. I do occasionally see 2014s still running. No APU. I just noticed that you are in TX. We do hire from TX and have loads going there all the time, but there was a driver here from TX who seemed to have trouble getting home on time though. I've never had an issue, but then I stay out 2 months minimum. Things might be different if I tried to get home every other week.
