How many days in the truck did you spend vs classroom or orientation time for your first check... took me a year at mega carriers before I started making decent money. 10 years now and I couldn’t be better off financially doing anything else I’m skilled at 😎","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Starting off, no one will know how good of a driver you are until you show them. It's not about paying dues, you have to show them. Everyone wants the big miles when they start, but you will not get them off the bat. Drive hard. Be on time.. And when you get the BIG one...run the wheels off the truck and keep the left door shut!!! 10 hrs break? You should be getting it in at 10:01!! You have to prove yourself. By all means, keep asking for miles!!!","replyToPid":0}

","text":"it's because you're new and you're a higher risk, so they take more out of your pay to cover potential expenses. everything works exactly like your credit score, the longer you go without having an incident, the more they can pay you without taking a loss.","replyToPid":133254}
