    Most post I've seen on here, say they split .22 a mile.

    I salute you..... using the #1 thread hijacking maneuver. Right out of the gate.

    Kinda like taking another card while playing Black Jack, when you're already holding 20.

    #2 being insert Ron Paul into thread.

    It's easy as
    5000 miles split = 2500 times .22 = 550.00
    I trained for couple years always told my students to go by
    2750 a week average
    5500 miles split = 2750 times .22= 605.00
    2750 at .31 is 852.50 a week
    If u can't run 5500 miles a week team one of u is not pulling there weight
    Wife and I run team at Crst as IC we run 5000 miles a week shut down every night for 7 hours and 30 hours at home over weekend and only drive 61 MPH
    From 68 mph to 61 mph is about 15,000.00 dollars in my pocket a year
    Of course I have been a Crst for 7 years so the people that jump from job to job have not been with Crst very long don't give it time most that start driving truck think they are going to make 50 60 thousand there first year
    If u talk to people that have been here for any length of time like it and make good money

    Really? Are there ANY good companies out there? I get a recommendation for a company, and then I get told what a crappy place to work it is. My understanding is being a new driver, I'm gonna hafta put up with all kinds of crap with ANY company I start out with. And since there really aren't that many that will hire new graduates, I don't see that I have a lot of choices. No offense to anyone, but it seems like people are trying to warn me to expect to have to work my behind off for very little reward, and that I'm going to get all upset and have a hissy or somethin, like they've formed a bad opinion of me without knowing a thing about me. Since right now, I cut and sell firewood and do a little mechanic work in my garage to scrape us and our 5 kids through while we're waitin on the effin govt to come through on my husbands VA disability, anything that pays me more than a couple hundred a month is gonna be worth it to me. Of course I'm going to check out companies before I go to work for them, thats why I asked if this company was going to completely screw me and should I keep looking? And yes, if I can get it in writing about the 22cpm training EACH and the 26cpm after training EACH, then most likely that's who we'll go with. As for the bonus, if we get it great, if we don't, I'm not gonna complain. If it does turn out that we will only get 22 cpm after training, split and split the miles, then we'll keep looking...but I've never seen anyone post that they only make $300 a week. Anyone care to share if they do?

    The only thing I hate about trucking Is how the truckers cry so much. Hope I don't turn into that

    well i've asked the recruiter to email the details to me, so guess it's a wait and see for now. can anyone explain what the 20/10 program is?
