I strongly recommend Prime as a place to start a trucking career. During my research I found them to have the best pay during training and best starting pay for new drivers. I have met several other drivers who were surprised at the cpm I started out at. In my opinion, their training was great and you get decent experience with a trainer before being let out alone. You must take accountability for your training and be willing to make sacrifices. This is not a cake walk but it is far from the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. You will continue learning and honing your skills long after being on your own but this is by far the easiest job I've ever had.
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Whoa! Welcome back! How's things goin?
but this is by far the easiest job I've ever had.
Before I say anything further I'd like you to clarify something for me. Was "easy" really the word you wanted to use to describe this job, or maybe would something like "enjoyable" or "adventurous" or "exciting" be a better fit?
Because hearing a rookie say that trucking is easy has given me visions of ambulance lights and tombstones. It's one of the top 10 deadliest jobs in America and it's obviously not easy, but it is an adventure, it's a challenge, it's exciting sometimes, and it's a lot of other cool things. But it's certainly not easy.
So did you mean 'fun' or 'exciting' or 'adventurous'? That would be totally cool and I would agree completely.

I think I kind of understand what he's trying to say. In some ways, this really IS the easiest job I've ever had. But that's once I've made it out to the interstate and there's not a lot of traffic. The majority of my day is pretty simple: just keep the truck inside the lines and don't hit anything in front of you. It gets much trickier when there is a lot of traffic around, and then the real challenges come when you have to back into a spot and/or negotiate a shipping/receiving area/truck stop/etc. that you're not familiar with. But if you look at percentage of working hours, those challenging times are a drop in the bucket compared to the entirety of your day.
But saying it's "easy" doesn't necessarily imply you can be lax or not attentive to what you're doing. For me, saying my job is "easy" is just saying that I don't find what I'm doing overly complicated.
