I went to the school last year, just finished my year with PAM. PAM's start pay was low as well, $0.28 cpm. I'll go ahead and tell you PAM's pay structure. You start out at $0.28 cpm and then every 3 months for the first year you get a 1 cent raise. After a year your at $0.32 cpm. They do take out $25 a week at first and put it into an Escrow Account, but stop taking it out at $400 (16 weeks) That just covers them in the event that you abandon their truck and they have to recover it. During your first year they also take out $45 a week to cover the cost of the school. At the end of the year you get a check back for any money over what you owed. In my case, my refund check was $657. After being with them a year, I'm on a dedicated account, run an average of 2921 miles per week and take home $800 a week. You can go to
www.pamt.com to learn more. They work with Drivers Solutions, so if they are hiring in your area, you can work for them. Talk to CFI and compare them. Everybody has their own unique experiences with different companies. I found that PAM worked well with me and worked out issues I was having at home so that I didn't have to quit early on. I will continue to work for them as long as my hometime is there and the money is there. Well, I got to deliver this load in the morning down the street from my house and then I'm off a week. I'll check the board tomorrow and see if you have anything else you would like to know.
thanks men
