      CPM means cents per mile – it’s one way of getting paid as a truck driver. The more coverage you can drive, the more you get paid.

    Hiiii
    I am from India… I am graduate and I want to make my future in truck driving field but in abroad like U.S. Or Canada. Yet I have no experience of truck driving. What would be best option for me for settling in USA or Canada in this field.

      Jimmy, your best course of action is to go to trucking school to learn how to drive a truck, and perhaps get your CDL, which commands a higher salary and one of the criteria when getting a job at a top trucking company. Read our article here:
