Just to clarify, a new student can drive at night, however, they have a curfew (I believe its midnite till 0600) until they reach a minimum driving hours (dont remember the number)

 

And what calibre of trainer do you expect anyway? I mean after all, he did take a pay CUT just to have you aboard!!! :lol:

There is no way in hell I would even consider working for a company that thinks like this. Learn from your mistake. Leave now. There are much better training companies out there.

 

Then they become a trainer. :lol:

Dang you know this company well.

 

I also noticed a sign hung up at Omaha Terminal about a year ago stating. the...W...supports O/O... :wink:

 

WOW...... this post just makes me even happier with my trainer.

I feel for ya bro... i'd get out of that situation like NOW! but thats me.

 

Are you guys so bad at math that you can't see this trainer is not taking a PAY CUT to train? If he runs say 3000 miles a week solo @.37 cpm he earns $1,110. If he takes a student and runs the same 3000 miles and the student runs another say 2000 miles then he gets paid 5000 miles (that the truck ran) at the REDUCED rate of .35 cpm (or whatever it is) and earns $1750. Your pay is what's IN YOUR PAYCHECK, not necessarily cents per mile!!! COMMON SENSE would tell you that no one would be a trainer for LESS money.

 

ya that's great :? ... the American raise.. Work more hours at less of pay rate. Yes, you will take more home if ya ever make it home. Time is money concept out the window.
I am glad you don't negotiate my pay raises.

 

Yes basic math is you are now taking a .02 CPM pay cut for every mile you roll ...And let's not use .35CPM or .37 Cpm as averages these are much much to high for ...W... as it takes 10yrs to hit .35CPM and 14 yrs to cap out at .37CPM at the ...W... the average trainer has 3month-1 yr driving experience so they are making .27-.29 before the .02 deduction dropping them to .25-.27 as a trainer at this rate of pay it takes 4k miles to top $1,000...I had 2 yrs at the ...W... and was at the rate of .28 after taking a pay cut ,Which I might add they said nothing in my trainer orientation of such a pay cut I found this out on my first check , which they found the student returned to terminal shortly after , As I found this cut in pay an INSULT . I think a pay cut is a slap in the face regardless of your pay rate , as you are taking a risk letting a strager drive you around in an 18 wheeler , But is there really room for a pay cut at the wages the...W...pays... :?:
