    Which you still could possibly do in 5 and a half weeks I would think. Depends I guess.

    when its time for hometime do they let you take the truck home for a few days or does it have to go to a terminal and then you have to find a ride home?

    I just finished my 15000 miles today (Monday, 8/6) *golf clap*. It took 6 weeks and 4 days and my trainer took 4 days home time.

    It is daily pay now, providing you log 4 hours drive time each day.

    I am the student that posted that so I guess I should qualify what I said in the post....but first, I didn't intend to give the impression that this happens a lot, or that the trainers don't work to avoid this kind of occurance. My trainer has gone to great lengths to make sure that I get my 4 hours drive time in as I am sure all trainers do. The point of the post was that Millis is very straightforward about the business as a whole, as well as how challenging it can be being out with a trainer and how important it is to be very flexible and to understand that sometimes......###### happens. I don't remember the exact circumstances of that day but the entire day was.....well, let's just say that it was one off THOSE days and it ended up with a production line going down and we lost that day. I just finished my 15k today and that is the only time that happened. My apologies if the post gave the wrong impression, that wasn't the intention and I hope this cleared it up.

    You'll have days like that lol, they always happen at the worst times too. I was on my way home and my brand new truck broke down and had to be towed in. Obviously that wasn't millis's fault or any fault of my own, but some days just suck lol

    My trainer just got a new 680. Supposedly it has a new software that has all the bugs worked out. So far, so good. Pretty nice truck, too. Needs a little more storage space IMHO.

    Mine has been real good except that one time it got towed, it had something to do with the DEF system
