    Does DOT Foods Transportation/DTI really pay new CDL drivers only $800/wk until they reach 200k miles logged? I'm looking into applying to DOT Transportation to get my CDL A, I just have a B. From their site, it seems they pay drivers only $800/wk until they reach 200k miles, and have to sign a 2 year contract. Is it true they limit your first year or two to just $800/wk gross? That's like $620 net weekly in IL. Can someone please clear this up? The company seems decent otherwise, but their new driver pay scale doesn't make sense when they also state you can make up to $71k your first year.

    Anyone have experience with cdldrivingacademy ...If you’re bilingual, that’s a huge plus. There is the potential to make $100K and regularly be home, possibly home nightly. Dot Transportation
