A little late with this But Truckerchuck if you re read my post I was referring to Rotten's 700.00 month of Jan. which I replied I make that a week
At my current company I make between 1500 and 600 a week, for the most part my checks are either over 1000 for the month but I still have two weeks where the miles drop dramatically and I make 600 to 700 for those two weeks! I started with my current company in March 2012 til present my last paycheck shows so far I made a little under 23,000 gross so far! Thats more than I made at Covenant or Knight for a full year! But I want to be an owner operator so I can start up my own small fleet and start to make a change in the trucking industry for the better.
My current company I started in Feb to now I'm a little over 24 k. With Crst for 9 months was 15 k if that
I would rather have stayed on training pay for a year, at least id be getting paid close to 7-11 pay doing something I like to do. I love to drive, but not for free.
If you're between months 5 and 8, they will try to starve you out of the truck to get their 4k lb of flesh from you for your training... Your story isnt too uncommon at all.
My buddy just finished his contact with crst. He said he went from 6500 miles a week to 2500. Don't know how true it is but we teamed before so I trust him. He got in with Conway after only 8 months doing teams. I will stay with crst until December of next year. Then go regional.
