Pay for new drivers?

I've been thoroughly looking for the right company to start with and from tons of recruiters, multiple phone calls and research I'm still a little confused....Can anyone explain how the pay is calculated? I've talked to quite a few companies that tell me i will gross 1000 to 1200 a week i mean alot BUT when i crunch the numbers on the cpm vs miles i drive a week (average 2500) it never comes up to their figure. Like .33cpm to .38cpm is still around 6 to 800$ or so weekly so where are they getting 1000 to 1200$ from? Heard these numbers from Roehl Transport, Watkins & Shepard, US Xpress, etc etc. Trying to find a real company where i can actually gross at least 50k in my first year.

 

Ah i got the tarp pay, stop pay section. I was thinking if it was a dry van type of delivery or something. None of those mentioned carriers said anything about stop pay or anything. Didn't know they could include "maybe" bonuses as a form of a guaranteed weekly check kind of thing.

 

Ahh i gotcha. So basically if the cpm don't match the miles you drive a week on they're weekly pay scale those bonus incentives are included with the mix to make up the difference?

 

Ok that narrows it down a bit then. Roehl were the ones that mentioned i would be making about 1100$ a week but yet they said i would start out @33cpm and only drive 2000 to 2200 miles a week. Numbers just didn't match to me but heard good things about them from researching them. Kinda stuck between Roehl, NTB Trucking, and TMC now as my top 3 picks. Just want someone to actually be truthful about they're pay for a change.
