New to the industry...

I think roehl pays during training now, great starter company and you can train in your home state (Gary). Millis is also a good one but I don't think they pay during training.

 

Millis is better home time

 

It's only $100 up front and spread it out. Unless something has changed you can get home every weekend if you want.

 

@Finalsomnia has been with for 2 years he can give you the scoop

 

Wow, I've been called to action!

Alright, the skinny with Millis: the first three and a half weeks are school and orientation - you don't get paid for that, because you aren't technically doing work yet. When you get on a truck with a trainer, though, you get paid for all miles run by the truck (including when the trainer drives). It's going up to .41cpm for trainees at the beginning of the year - I don't remember how many miles I did a week as a trainee, so I can't give you an idea of how much that'll be but as a solo driver I do between 2800 and 3200 on weeks that aren't hometime.

The deductions for school are $20 a week, or more if you want.

I've been late to hometime twice since July 2014, and neither of those times were because of dispatch (basically because of problems with the shippers).

 

Thanks for dropping in!
