Pay

500 per week during the 8 week driver training. Then ya get yur truck and it's .31 per mile for 10 months. After the 10 months, or actually your 1st year anniversary, you get a raise to .39 per mile. Pay tops out at .47 per mile.

Sooooo, with a driver who keeps his left door closed and gets to pick ups and deliveries EARLY (when allowed) instead of waiting around to the appointed time every time, thereby getting 2900-3200 miles a week you can do the math.

But wait, as an added bonus I'll do some math, right here, right now!

.31/mile x 2900 miles/wk = $899 per week. Even the lazy ones, sitting at truck stops during the day whining about low pay rather than driving, who might only drive 2300 miles a week, still will bring down $713 per week during thier 3rd thru 12th month with Crete.

STOP! I know miles vary week to week and even the drivers that stay behind the wheel and work may only get 2200 or 2400 miles for the week now and again... Not every week will be a 3000 mile week, but by-in-large those who -regularly- get less than say 2700 miles per week are those who can't keep the left door shut and who will sit for a day waiting for an appointment rather than having dispatch get you in to the shipper or consignee before the "appointed" day/time.

Truth.
