The .12 cpm for CR England. That's for every mile the truck drives, whether you drive or not, correct?

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

That is correct. You will get a raise each month during your training. Last month, CR England reported they would increase the CPM 12.7% in their phase 2 training.

I left England recently. My experience with them was not the best, I won't get into all the details here, but the best part about the company IMO is decent equipment.

I have a, friend that went to swift right out of school, and in comparing things with him I think I would have had a better experience there.

As for England's pay... .12 cpm for every mile your team truck moves for the first month. You get a .01 cpm raise every 30 days for the first 5 months. After that you join a division and get paid whatever the base is for that division, which is still only about .32 cpm solo or .18 cpm team.

England has A TON of recent cdl grads pulling their freight. After 6 months of being off the trainers truck they will pressure you to become a trainer. That is where you start making the big bucks. My trainer told me he made .42 cpm for all the miles on the truck (we did 5000 a week +/-), .01 cpm for each mile one if his students drove for a year after getting off his truck, and $200 for each off his students that successfully tested out of training on the first try.

CDL:

  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.

You can be a trainer with only 6 mo experience? Kinda scary to be honest.
