• Mentor training pays $650 a week for 3 to 5 weeks, about 200 to 250 hours on the road.
• After your first solo dispatch, you are guaranteed $1,000 a week for 3 months.
• After that, drivers average $1,200 to $1,800 a week on 1,800 to 2,900 miles.
• You get $15 stop pay and $75 plus mileage on short hauls.
• A monthly performance bonus is on top.
• Holiday work is voluntary.
