Does this seem reasonable?

Alright heres my deal...I get out the Marines in the begining of june i got a school im going to and have a job lined up with a flatbed carrier that my dad works for, starting as soon as i get my cdl. I just wanna make sure that all of the info i have, sounds like a good place to start with. From reading on here it sounds top notch just would like some input, thank you. Hers what i got, Its payed percent starting at 24.5% of revenue, Payed orientation 7-10days. Then with trainer for 4-8weeks. Once you go solo they guarntee $600weeks for 2 months(i was told this is beacuse they realize you are new and might make mistakes)....My dad works in the office with them so i sent him some of the questions new drivers should ask and this is what he sent back. does all of this seem reasonable? good trucks? decent miles? thanks alot for all the info ive got from this site

I didnt want to be claimed as an advitiser or something, so i didnt use the name on purpose so i could try and hear some opinons about how it looks w/o any political type bs. The company is PGT trucking, ive tried to search this site on it but pretty much came up empty handed. So if any could tell me if its seems like an ok company to drive for thatd be great. My dad loves working (fuel/toll manager) for them, and he says that there two main concerns in there meetings are saftey and driver retention, so that sounds good.

edit: What are opions on these trucks?
