    I work at Superior Carriers. The first year I drove I made about $40k. I started in March and had 6 weeks of training @ $100/day. The first full year I made 57. Last year I made 65. All drivers where I work are paid at the same rate with the exception of hourly pay, which varies a bit from terminal to terminal.

    It isn't particularly hard to find a decent job out of school, it just seems many guys rush and take the first thing that comes along. As a general rule, good jobs don't really need fancy advertisements and recruiters to sell jobs to drivers.
     
    FLATBED and CCJR76 Thank this.

    Give it more time. It sounds like your dispatcher is trying to break you in gently.

    Like truckduo said, check out the USX sub forum. Got a few regulars they can give advice.
