company pay while being trained
 

ok a company agrees to train you as a possible company driver do they pay per hr. or per day?I had a few interviews and one company told us everyone gets $65.00 a day.How did you do? :?:

Seems to me they pay the day or the mile as a trainee. But I'm no expert. Wait a few, some will come along better to answer.

Who have you talked to?

Most companies I have seen pay either by the week or by the mile during OTJ training.

like uturn says, some pay by the week a flat amount others pay by the mile.

I have seen one that said they paid by the day. I forgot who. but it didn't really mean anything because it said something like $65 a day up to $350 a week. So i guess that means if your trainer is home for 5 days and you are in a hotel you might not be getting paid for that time. Most pay per week.

company i work for paid me 200 a week for 2 weeks while i trained :cry:

my first load took me 2300 miles and 4 days to get there and paid me
$1900 :D

yeah, 200 a week was bs, but the pay after training is unbeatable.
this company doesnt even hire new drivers, or train. like i said, i know some one.
i think the other guy was calling BS on the pay i make as a solo driver after training.

So the company that doesn't train, trained you and then pays 82 CPM.

BS.

o.k. you're right. i pull a dry van and make 27 CPM

LOL...if you would ask or read the other post all18 has going, you would know that he isn't pulling cheap dry van freight.

thank you, cali. i was being a smartass.
apparently some drivers out here dont believe that there are a few good, small outfits out there that pay really well. even for rookies.
