what is a decent CPM to start out with?

Yea but it’s always gonna be a catch lol

Nobody is gonna just give the PERFECT situation AND most money lol, business 101

 

What’d you learn?
That there is no right answer?
I went from getting 49 cents OTR to 37 cpm in a daycab, plus loading and unloading pay and good detention pay.

 

I think it depends how hard your company wants to run you. 40 cents a mile at 2500 miles per week equals 50 cents per mile at 2000 miles. What you have to understand is that miles will vary from week to week so everyone is pretty in the same ball park of pay, fluctuating from $700 - $1200 per week. A lot of people say they are making north of 75 grand a year, but in reality only the top 10 percent of the industry is seeing that type of money

 

I second this.

 

Idiots will take a OTR job for less money. Those who want too feel like human won't tach it for less than $325 or better for every day including 34

 

How many companies are realistically paying that? Especially for a newbie?

 

They will if you push it. With ok score and right aditute to many companies will offer some more benefits on top

 

So you want full bennies on top of 120K a year?

 

Don't be a troll.. or you should be working for penni

 

You're the one saying you should ask for and get 300% of the average truck driver salary. $325 for 365 is $118,000 because you wanted 34s to count.
