I just recently received my CDL
I just got a job offer, with an owner operator doing long haul. I just recently received my CDL. He offers me 15 cents a mile,
because of lack of experience. Is this a fair offer? Thanks for you input. |
cant do 100miles in a hour mate

That realistically translates to about $8.25/hour. Are you willing to work and be gone for that?

It seems like this is the only way to get my foot thought the door. I respond to job posting, fax resume, and file online application. Everyone wants min. 2 years experience. After I received my CDL, I knew it was just the beginning. So I bought a few books "Bumper to Bumper"(The complete guide to Tractor-trailer Operations),"The Tractor Trailer Book" (Practical Advice for Driving Tractor Trailers) and a few DVD. I just want an opportunity.

just think it bit hard to think theyd expect you to work for that sort of money from what i see in this forum ,dont any your companies pay by the hour
|
Crete Carrier will hire you as a trainee, you would have to go with a trainer for a while, but you would make more, and have benefits
|
There are most definitely companies out there who will take you on for more than that per mile. New drivers with no experience are making double or more than the $0.15 a mile you were offered. The only question is, how did you get your CDL, did you go thru a school or did you borrow someone's truck and do the test on your own?

I went to a driving school to get my training. I'm able to pass mandatory screening.

Check into some of the starter companies like Swift, Schneider, Werner, but STAY AWAY from CR England. Last I knew Swift paid the least per mile at like 27 cents per mile but all paid more than 15 cents.
