My Pay As A Rookie Driver

Awesome miles! Way to crank em out!

Thanks. They give them, I drive them.

This is my final pay stub of 2017. This is for my first eight months with CFI.

Thanks for sharing that Big Scott!

Now when you say it's for your first 8 months, does that include the initial CDL training and time on the road with your trainer? If so, how have you done since going solo?

Yes it does include my time with my trainer. At CFI you are officially hired on the last day of orientation. I got my truck at the end of June, so the bulk of that is solo.

Scott, thanks a bunch for posting your pay stubs. Inquiring minds want to know these things.

So, that last pay stub you posted, you grossed $1200. That's for 2 weeks, right?

And your year to date gross was $25,000 for about 6 months work?

What to make sure I'm reading/ interpreting it correctly?

Thanks again for the great info.

In January 2018, CFI went back to one week pay. That was the last two week pay period. However, Since then, I have been hitting my $1000.00 per week goal fairly easily. Pic. coming.

Our driver dash board only shows net pay once our checks are processed which is what you see below. January 19th was our first one week pay. December 29th was 2 weeks pay with 8 or 9 days of home time in the middle of it.

Here is some gross and net pay. It's all I can get on the screen like that. The pay for March 9th was during home time. There are two days of vacation pay in it. My current pay is processing, so I won't see that until Tuesday or Wednesday.

I have very low monthly bills and my wife takes home about $600.00 every two weeks. This is great money to me. I also feel trucking is easy money. I use to end every day filthy and in pain. Not any more. I love this career. I don't need much to get by. I post these numbers to show people what is possible out here without too much effort.

Thanks for the answers Big Scott.

Could you tell me the the cents per mile rates from driving with trainer to 120,000 miles?

There are some rates Brett listed on the XPO school review, but I think those are outdated.

Yes the ones in XPO are outdated. While with trainer it's 26 CPM , Once solo it's 33 CPM. At 60,000 miles it's 35 CPM. At 90,000 miles it's 37 CPM. At 120,000 it's 40 CPM. I am at 37 CPM now. Starting while with your trainer there are also hazmat (if you have that endorsement), Northeast, Detention, extra stop and any other bonus pays. I hope that helps.

Here are some current gross and net pays for me.

For 7-20 pay period was a half week leading up to home time. The following week 7-27 was coming off home time on Wednesday and breaking down Friday. So, I only got paid for one short load. Then two good weeks and back in the shop. Now the truck is all fixed.
