    30 drivers at my plant.
    Found the job after getting laid off in 2009.
    Applied for a few union jobs but ended up pulling doubles for Conway when a couple months later got a call asking if I was still interested, didn't hesitate and ain't looked back.
    Contract was up this year and it helped we negotiated a 2 buck raise this year.

    You're also a new driver. You're getting experience at the cost of not making a lot of money.

    I don't make much more than $200/day, but I also don't get run into the ground every day and home weekends.
     
    Selva, Dennixx and Coffey Thank this.

    I would say that's a little low especially since your pulling a refrigerated. I'm going to assume, your paying the price for free cdl training. In two months you should be looking at a raise.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    I knew what I was looking at going in. I actually turned down a job with a company that has an excellent reputation that would have been 40 percent better pay. As crazy as it may sound, pay was about number 3 on my list of job aspects.

    That said, my guess is that my pay is probably average for a new driver. I gather others are making less, from some of the threads I’ve read here.
