What's your starting CPM when just starting out?

If I remember right I will be starting at 26 CPM... with a 3 CPM raise in three months. Kind of low, but I only need to get over the road for a year or so...

 

I started at 28 back in '06

 

I started at 24.5 cpm 15 years ago trucking has come a long way huh?

 

18 cpm in 1990. Best I ever got was 24 cpm in 1994.

1994, When I was dispatching hopper bottoms, it was about 98 cpm avg to the truck, loaded/deadhead.

 

Started at .23/mile in 1995. Been quite a bit of inflation since then, but trucker wages have stayed roughly flat.

 

Not just trucker wages,,,,

I think it worked out to .17 cents a mile? But that was after taxes, per diems, and a few other things I can't remember.

They advertised .26 though, but I never saw it.

 

Oh and it doesn't matter what the cpm is if you're sitting 3 days a week.

So consider that when an offer comes up for BIG MONEY!

 

you may be sitting for three days...

But now...

You got the internet.....
