PAM Do u get miles or sit
I was thinking about going through PAM CDL trainning? Do they treat you right?

Like most large companies, how many miles you get will depend on the driver manager (dispatcher) that you get assigned to. PAM is an average large company. You will make between $300-$900 per week. I know that is a large range, but the miles for driver doing general freight are all over the place. One week you will run 3000 miles, the next you will only get 1700 miles. For a more consistent paycheck, try to get on a dedicated account or run team. Since your from Ohio, look into PDS (Pam Dedicated Service) out of North Jackson, OH. If you are married with kids and all don't do general freight. The swings in the miles will probably stress you out, if your family is depending on you to send home money every week. If your single and basically living out of your truck, you'll be OK on general freight.

One of the all time worst companies IMO.

I drive for AFS, a division of PAM. I couldn't recommend working for PAM itself to anyone, but I do well working for AFS. We have our own mangagers, planners etc. I know I get loaded a lot places faster than the PAM drivers do, plus we have other perks like Detention pay. I guess its an ok place to get a start and get out.

It seems like I am always calling them,trying to get my latest status.I've heard that Allen Freight Division is pretty good,kind of seperate from PAM.Could yo give me any training info. or company info that would be helpful? Thanks GCPK
