Good for you. Let us know where you land and how it's working out for you.

I drove team at .22 its not a bad deal. That's .22 a mile for every mile the truck rolls even if your sleeping. So .20 isn't that bad but crust does suck..you should look into Conway truckload.

 

all team pay is HALF. becuase the truck rolls twice as much. you get paid wether your the driver or in the sleeper.

it equates to full pay as a solo. only you don't get paid to be in the sleeper. but you DO sleep better.

 

Regional with a refrigerated company is OK for some that want more home time. Between loading/unloading, mandatory HOS down time, you may not get the miles you want.
Probably get more miles with a flatbed company such as System Transport or Melton Truck Lines. Also, check the trans-system website. A recent post on here stated many tanker companies in CA are hiring new CDL grads. Schneider tanker has been doing this for a long time, but there are now others doing it. Check Careerbuilder website.

Many companies websites indicate experience required, but ignore that and apply anyway. Many companies hire new CDL grads, but just don't advertise it.

 

At Crete, you would go with a trainer for 8 weeks . I assume they pay about $ 500 / week maybe. After training, they would pay $.34 . After 1 year $ .40 / mile practical miles. I think they have a western regional. They are worth checking out. I was there 18 years. I think they are better than some of the others. Like swift, werner, cr england, crst.
