    We work 4 on 2 off. SOMTIMES they have room in their house. You would be better off in an RV. Full benefits.

    What is your average pay check like at Stevens, and what is the average amount of hours per week? I am interested in moving down.

    Average hours are 60-65 and my checks gross have been bewtween $1200-1450 thus far. I was in training for two weeks and that pay is ####. $125 per day. But it goes by fast.

    Orientation is in Dallas for three days. Then you come down here.

    What about housing. I am looking to work at the Jacksboro site. Just trying to get the most info from a real driver currently not a recruiter.

    They provide housing with payroll deductions. I don't know much about Jacksboro. I'm down in Stockdale. The housing the provide is expensive. Try to find an rv park, particularly one that offers rentals if you don't have your own. That's what I'm doing and saving a lot of money.

    I know company provided housing up there was cheaper than down here. If I remember the sheet correctly they could put you in a Knights Inn by yourself for $200 per week.

    Jacksboro does make less per hour, about a dollar less. I'm trying to find the info sheet in my email. It's a pdf.

    Seven weeks. And boy has it flown by. I actually didn't know I had already been down here for a proverbial cup of coffee till I added it up to answer your question lol. Feels like yesterday I was still in training.
