A good trainer at Crete could make 88k. They get paid for their trainees miles on top of their miles.

Go get your own schooling. This is how you stay away from getting locked in at a trucking company. Here is my path to greatness (lol)
1) went to a voc college that offered cdl training. It was a 7 week course, i shelled out 1500 bones.
2) hired on with crete out of school. Spent 8 weeks on a truck with a trainer making 500 a week. (this was an actual trainer who had been driving for over 30 years, not a 1 year pro, or another student)
3) grin and bear .37cpm student pay for a year.
4) at 1 year get my raise as a seasoned driver to .44 cpm
5) save money and buy a truck (my current location)
6) profit, or starve, lolWookie Dude and RackEmUp Thank this. -
Yep. I went to Central Tech truck driving school before hiring on at Crete. Although tuition has gone up. My class was only 4.5 weeks but $3500. It was a fantastic school, and I would recommend them to anyone! I have heard that some schools are upwards of $6k, and they have student to truck ratios of like 8:1. At Central Tech, 2:1! Another good thing about Crete that you mentioned...my trainer has been driving for over 12 years. Military vets can start a little higher on the cpm, but I thought it was only 1cpm raise per year. I do know you go up at 6 mos and then at your yearly hiring anniversaries.
Good luck with steps 5 and 6! Think I'll stick to being a company driver for awhile.GeekFink Thanks this.
