What is an acceptable rate (cpm) for a New Driver?

If the only company that will hire you only pays 30 cpm guess what rate you are going to be working for?.

K and B hired newbies with no experience and paid them 48cpm?.

 

The same could be said for any industry and you can easily add a 0 to that 8.

 

Cause I don't want my own Authority. And a one truck operation is no competition

 

Ya ok and when your over the road babysitting a truck for how many days/hours your at a rate below minimum wage.

 

At least they treat ya'll like family......................

 

What deregulation? The trucking industry is one of the most highly regulated industries in the entire country lol. Maybe the space shuttle program is more regulated but can't think of much more.

Perhaps ending regulations where the mega companies get subsidies/corporate welfare to hire new drivers would be a good start to "deregulate" the industry? Government "regulations" are what are throwing an oversupply of cheap drivers into this industry.

 

No way a regulated trucking or airline industry could have kept up with all the changes the US economy saw following the Reagan era. No way. We would be still living in 1978.

 

Acceptable pay for a new driver is whatever a new driver is willing to accept.Plain and simple.

 

Not sure if you are serious or not

 

Serious this time lol
