I am wondering about upgrading from CDL B to CDL A. I am in Tukwila WA, it's a huge decision, I know I do not want to attend Swift, however, is there a school that some of you recommend? Also, I just found out I can go to South East Campus college to get. Any thoughts and all opinions are welcome

I don't know much myself this far, so I don't want to steer you wrong. Here is a list of company sponsored programs: https://www.truckingtruth.com/paid-cdl-training/

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • 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.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I have decided that where ever I go, I want to team for my first couple years to make up for the low beginning pay. Once I have a good solid start, then I can go solo, and find a place that has a good animal policy for the dog :] I figure it this way: this is just an example. $.25 cpm solo for 2000-3000 weekly miles = $500 - $750 as a newby aka me. or the truck getting paid $.44cpm aka .22cpm per driver for total miles of 4500-6500 miles a week = $990 to $1,430 a week as a team newby.

So if someone is a company that pays low wages as a newby, what is their excuse for taking low pay solo versus lower / but ironically higher paying team driving?

Have I looked at this information incorrectly? Am I wrong or right?

Thank you in advance.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

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

As many of you know, I wish to work for Prime, Inc.

I am attempting to verify my work history dates, and when I call the corporate office for Aeropostale, the guy who handles that kind of stuff tells me, we use a third party website for that, we do not have access to it here in the office. So he gave me the website. This website does not have a phone number, so in order to verify the dates Prime, Inc. would have to log in to this website as a verifier in order to verify this particular job.

Talk about nuts!! Right?

Will this be an issue?

you can always ask for copies of your check stubs.
