714750 发表于 2019-06-28 01:57:37 no I'm not. just a company driver. if a new driver is a higher risk why hire them then? and don't give them chance to drive cuz the company may safe more money. don't u think so?

","text":"They hired you because older drivers are retiring.  Because it’s a risk to them there insurance is more if they have a bunch of new drivers.  They are giving you a chance they hired you an gave you keys to a truck.  Are you with a trainer?  Are you getting training pay?","replyToPid":133488}

","text":"Yeah...no you don’t. Bc ypu could only drive 6 days before you’d have to take a 34. And that doesn’t include your DOT inspections. You only get 70 hours in 8 days. If you’re “driving 11 hours a day” and doing inspections you are out of hours on day 6. So days 7&8 would be reset days. \nIf you are driving 11 a day at an average of 60mph that’s 660/day. At .30cpm that’s $198/day. Multiply that by 6 days and you get $1188. Unless you’ve taken a lot of advances you would’ve made more than $135 for the week. ","replyToPid":133282}

462372 发表于 2019-06-28 00:28:26 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.
