    Good luck. Get yourself a nice trucker gps. You will need it day one when you get your truck.

    Starting pay is $.25 cpm for 90 days.
    I think it goes to 28 after the 90 days.
    You can also get a a couple cents extra for fuel and safety bonus if you make all your check calls and don't get any tickets, etc.
    If you call Kristi in Missoula(recruiter) she will explain it all to you.
    Very nice lady.

    I went out for 4 weeks after orientation. Just took 3 days off. I go back out tomorrow with a load from Modesto to Montana. It's a good entry level job. Not terribly complicated or labor intensive. 99% drop & hook. I will try to stay out at least another 4 weeks this time. Might not be so pleasant in the winter, so I want to work as much as I can while the weather is good.
