Take a deep breath and repeat after me. It will all be ok. You have nothing to worry about. If you don't want to do the per diem you don't have to. Your last day of training someone(Laura Wiley if you're at Carlisle) will come in and along with a bunch of other paperwork give you a DVD all about Per Diem. And if you don't want to partake in the program then you have plenty of time to opt of it after you graduate. I believe they give you 30 days from graduation to notify your DBL if you want to opt out. As a matter of fact, if you really want to see it now you can go onto Crossroads and there is a copy on there, under which category I'm not sure. I'm also not positive whether you can view it off of a student account or not. In case nobody told you, as a student you have access to the Crossroads Intranet system. Your ID is the number on that name badge they should have given you the first day of training. Your password is the last four digits of your social security number repeated twice. ie, if your social ends with 1234 then your password is 12341234. Hope this helps.
Thanks. The teacher did mention some lady on the last day but I figure there's a chance by the last day I'm already in and she'd just tell me to wait. I'm in Green Bay (next to corporate
We were supposed to do the crosswords training today but someone forgot to activate our accounts. Whoops. Maybe tomorrow.

the average is 2500-3000 miles per week which when you start out works out to between 750 and 900 per week before taxes and you are paid weekly

From the dacfix website: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- What is a DAC Report anyway? [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.
USIS, formerly known as DAC Services, performs pre-employment screening for commercial businesses. Their biggest client base is the trucking industry. According to estimates, USIS (formerly DAC Services) provides CDL driver job history, MVR and criminal history for more than 2,500 motor carrier clients, and has some 4.7 million individual drivers' records in its database!
USIS services cover all screening areas. They run criminal background checks, employment verifications, school verifications, social security number verifications, trucking employment history verifications, motor vehicle reports, sex offender registry checks, and maintain a theft database (companies key in thefts of former employees). Since DAC is dealing with private consumer information, they must comply with complex regulations of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1971 and all of its Amendments.
Why is it so important to know what is on my DAC Report? [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. Because inaccurate, inconsistent, or false information on your report can keep you from getting the job you want or cause you to be terminated from the job you have just been hired for.
That's right. Many trucking firms hire first and then run DAC reports 30-60 days later. If your report contains information that does not conform to the company's hiring standards, you are either faced with dealing with DAC on your own and hoping to get the information corrected, or be terminated from the job that you have just worked so hard to get.
Once a company terminates you, THAT employer will now send out a notice to DAC that you are no longer working for them and this raises a red flag as to WHY you were terminated. This can prevent you from being hired by future prospective employers.
A key complaint from drivers and Driver associations such as OOIDA has been that DAC's reporting methodology is flawed, and they have been sued in the past because of inaccurate/vague or inconsistent information being reported on driver job history reports.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The DAC reporting program is the reason this section of thetruckersreport.com website is satirically named Trucking Company DAC Reports. It's a clever, fair is fair, what's good for the big cheese is good for the small cheese, reference. Hope that helps.

Schneider fails to inform....I was supposed to get .28cpm and 2500 miles per week. None of those 2 things were ever met during the 6 mos I worked there....they practically starved me out of a job. Then they have the balls to want me to pay back their training $? SCREW THEM....I found out that I was actually getting .26cpm(PER DIEM) dont sign up for that...they get a bonus from the IRS for being a biz with Per Diem....and my average miles during my 6 mos was 1800 AVERAGE...however I remember getting like 2200 one week...I kept asking them to give me more miles...an when I was told why I wasnt getting miles was due to the fact that I was going home every two weeks to see my family....welll that is BS I work for a company now that I get more $ than I did with SNC and I am home every night and weekend....so DO NOT GO WITH SNC...unless you like being babysitted
So who did you go with after SNI?

Thank you for all your input everyone. I will probably start with them this month. From what i've seen and heard, they are the lesser of the evils. If I quit in a year my recruiter said I could pay the remainder of training before interest rates are accrued. Is this correct? Thank you in advance.
I worked with SNI since jan 3. So far my employment has had its ups and downs. Heres just the numbers since I got in my first truck after the TE and cdl test.
Feb 1 got first truck and officially began driving.
To date I am on my 23 trailer tire blow out,
1 steer tire
7th different truck (all but 1 was for mechanical failure)
37 days total of layovers march-april were really bad and the last 2 months
8 weekend they cant get me home on the scheduled day off 2 of which were guarenteed days off
However certain boards and DBLs i have had will bend over backwards to help you with what they can. If you are polite but stern they will normally respect you and work with the issues. The biggest issus I see with DBL are the ones that have never driven truck before are the biggest dicks you can imagine. ALL the DBLs ive had that have drove before are understanding enough to work with what ou need instead of hang up on you.
