    Thanks man. Makes perfect sense. So you can't get hired on directly for regional then? I thought maybe you could tell the recruiter that's what you wanted before starting school and be set if its available at that moment. Guess they have to wait till your solo and it has to be available then to talk about.

    So in order to receive the up to .41 you have to take the .35 package and not take the health insurance. I'm glad I asked this, I had a whole different idea as you could see. Wasn't sure what they meant on their website either.

    You only get paid the deadhead miles from your last delivery to your pick up. If you deliver somewhere and then drive home say 40 miles for home time then your 1st pick up is 10 miles from where you last delivered you only get paid the 10 miles. They aren't gonna pay you to drive home for home time.

    So if you come off home time does your pay start once you get to where your load is to be picked up at?

    You can be hired on as a Regional Driver. However if you are going to the school you still have to do your time with the trainer first. Then test out and go regional after that.

    . Maybe this will explain it a little better. Lets say you deliver at miller in Milwaukee. Then you drive home to Richfield Wisconsin appx 25 miles for home time. Then the first load you pick up after your home time is in West Allis. You only get paid the deadhead miles from Milwaukee to West Allis appx 6 miles.

    Thanks for the info. I knew of at least 1 company that will pay for the drive home and then to delivery point from home or pick up point from home. Not sure its thats still true or not. Anyway that's fine. At least I'm burning up their fuel and not mine to get to that next point and home time.
