Swift pays min wage for training with trainer plus one dollar an hour

I made a flat $350/wk while training. How much exactly are you expecting to be paid?

 

USA Truck / CRST Pays under minimum wage, Swift wins.

 

Swift is the better starter company. They have decent programs in place for new drivers there. If I was starting, that's where I would go. That or Millis.

 

+1

If I was starting out wanting to do Regional / OTR, I'd go to SNI Bulk.

100% Sincere.



Thread Backfired OP.

 

Good call. I forgot about that.

 

A lot of start companies are paying $500+ a week. I've seen 1 pay $400 and another pay $350, which I avoid like the plague.
I'm going to try and get into SNI Bulk also.

$7 x 70 hours a week = $490. Sad, but what can you do. Not to mention, your forced to spend it with a stranger on your off time.

Edit: This is "orientation" training, not training for CDL. If the OP is going to school, minimum wage to get a CDL is dam good money... I had to pay $5 grand and all my expenses for my "certificate"

 

Its not sad, you either have to pay for training to get your CDL or train with a company - what do you guys expect, free training?

 

I made that at Burger King flipping whoppers. Wow..
