When I trained it was the $350/week then you got paid $.28 split as we ran team at that point. Also it probably won't be a month at $350 as it's actually only for the the period that the trainer must always be in the front seat which is ~7000 miles. I road tested out of that in two weeks when I started and was on to mileage pay. Also, there is the chance training won't take you 3 full months either. The second part is based off miles as well although I can't remember how many you needed to be able to test out. Pretty much if you have the miles, are competent and your trainer feels you're ready you can road test to solo early.

Yes sir I guess they changed it, its 700 a week now after u upgrade. Think I saw ur pic on the driver board im on there as well lol

Nah, I'm not on the training board, that was over 9 months ago for me. In fact last I looked I was on the local board still even though I haven't been doing local since January.

Does pride do routing,tell u where to fuel and how much to get? Micromanage your arse to death,even with over 2 mill accident free miles? Just curious as i am making my short list if companies to work for.

You hit on one of the things I really like about Holland. I get fuel where and when I want it. It was one of the things I really hated about Crete....20 gallons here, 34.7 there.....pain in the arse for sure!!

I know those guys, they run in and out of the same dedicated I do at times. Somehow my friend and I never make the team board even though that's all I've done while OTR.

They send you a route, sometimes fuel, sometimes not. I only look at them if I'm going across the 80 or through PA on the turnpike and want to see if they want us to run tolls or not. It's rare that I fuel where it says as we save time fueling where we swap drivers as a team. If you take shortcuts or a better way no one will say anything.

Jo in recruiting just told me they couldn't bring me on bc I live too close to the ocean... They said it should be ok last week bc I'm close to the Salinas Valley which is where they go :/
