There he goes again...wanting to be paid for sleeping....... :roll:

Evinrude...we all know you have an agenda. It's old, but in bold print, so none of us can miss it.

Try to keep in mind you are talking to a brand new member looking for advice. This forum is for the new drivers looking for help and support.

I don't think anyone needs candy coating, but lets keep some perspective.

Rates vary from one carrier to another. From what has been posted I would estimate starting pay to range from about $0.26-0.30/mile. Some pay additional charges such as additional stops, load assisting, etc., You need to look a little deeper when you check out compensation. Sometimes it is difficult to compare carriers due to the different ways an employee can be compensated. Most will earn around $28-35,000 the first year.

As far as your no insurance citation is concerned. Insurance companies and carriers primarily look for moving violations. They will usually over look other types of tickets. It make take an extra day or two to get the insurance company to sign off, but I don't see a problem getting a job in this business if that is all you have on your abstract or mvr.

3000 for the no insurance was a deal, the max fine here in ontraio for no insurance is 5000, its up to the judge, how much you pay!

Geez, here we go again...

The bold and the irresponsible wantin a shot at drivin' da big rigs...

When you drive without insurance, you should be put in jail and fined out the ass...because when you drive without insurance you are a menace.

Smart kid, this one...

The idiot went out last night, stole his fathers car while he was drunk. The cops got him after he totaled the car by going into a ditch. The got him for 2nd offense DUI and 3rd offense driving on a suspended license.

Then he had the balls to call my wife to ask for bail money. He's still sitting in jail, and unless someone else bails him out, he'll be there until the state lets him go.

i know it was stupid and not resposible at all. I was younger and I had got called into work, and I had been called into work, I had now money for a cab. The job was pretty much minimum wage. So I took my parents car that was apparently off the road at the time. I made it to work fine. But driving home ( some person that I didnt get along with at work, called the police and told them I was driving a uninsured car , just to be a dick)... Half way home they caught me. I know it was my mistake. I learned my lesson for sure.
