Stuck in between Class A and B

It appears all these companies are running scams. They make a lot of money off all the wanabe hires without a guarantee of a job. You got a good, safe, paying job now. Don't jump ship in this economy , it may very well turn into the Greater Depression. I get calls & then am told gotta be certified by the company school for $6K(at my personal expense). No thanks!

 

if you are getting 11-1300 now why change.
Otr does not pay alot your first year you will make 30-45k if you are lucky. You have to run your butt off to make good money weekly.

 

If you do not mind taking a pay cut then come on out and see how you like it.
You can start out after training at 26-30 cpm at most company's you will need to run if you want good checks.
Once I got my truck after training I made from 400-1000 after taxes per week. Providing I had time to scan my paperwork. The lower weeks was because I did not have time to scan in my paperwork.

 

Still gotta earn your wheels with a trainer first. There is a difference between class A & class B. I know, it doesn't seem fair, but keep looking, and you might find someone that will be able to set you up with what you are looking for. The biggest problem for some companies is actually their insurance carriers. Unless the company is self-insured, the insurance company actually has a hand in setting the requirements for amount of experience.

 

Mister, Lot's of otr drivers are looking for that...And Lots of them would leave the road in a heartbeat to take your job and be home...From where I sit, it sounds like you have it pretty good where you are at...

 

Not to mention you will also need to learn the qualcomm alot of companies use the system, how properly fill out a logbook, hours of service etc. I thought that I could not survive on what I was getting paid during training but you need to learn how to eat cheap when you first go out.
I lived on about 110-130 per week out of my training pay the rest went on my bills. It will be hard when you first start out.
I can recomend May Trucking their training is based on you not a set period of time. They pay 420.00 per week but you can solo out in a couple of days if you and the trainer feels that you are ready.
Then you will make as little as .30 cpm after that unless they will acknowledge the years that you were at your current job.

 

If you got your CDL Class A now start looking at some of the smaller companies. Someone will hire you. Not all will pay that great so you have to becareful.
