Congratulations on your new life! Don't think of your pay as low, think of it as a paid internship. You're still learning. The experience you're gaining and the skills you're sharpening RIGHT NOW are what will make it possible for you to earn much more later. My company starts road drivers out at 73 cpm AFTER they have at least two years of experience.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

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

Glad you got to listen, George!

Pacific Pearl, that's exactly right. I'm gaining valuable experience, as well as working off my one year contract (which saves me more money!). That's why I stopped questioning the fuel bonus after a bit so that I could focus on work.
