How much do new Truck Drivers with a Class A license make in 2020?

Hello. I’m Nick. I’m new to this group.

What do "you" consider realistic pay for a new Truck Driver just out of school? I have seen some schools stating that they can train you to get a Class A license in 3 - 6 weeks, and offer a starting salary of 50K - 60K a year? Is this realistic/true?

Some trucking companies I see where they will pay about $20 - $25 an hour, and I see some trucking companies that only pay by the mile. What do "you" consider the best pay at this time (in 2020) . . . 50K - 60K a year or $20-$25 per hour or pay by the mile?

You thoughts?
 
Cardinal logistics and Exel /DHL logistics has facilities of their own and 3PL facilities also, in the Midwest I do believe. Both-of those companies have contracts with local stores/distributors for delivery and daily tractor trailer and box vans.
 
Lessee...

Central Transport (CTI,) Transland, IWX, Christensen Transport, Wilson Logistics, Wil-Trans, Consolidated Freightways (CFI,) Prime Inc, CEI, most of the megafleets look for drivers through there.

...to name a few. Googling "trucking companies springfield mo" brings up a lot of possibilities.
