    Starting pay is 30 com for inexperienced, looking between 2100 and 2800 miles per week on average spending on how smart you work and how often you come home.

    If you mean the military apprentice program then yes. All it does, literally, is pay you extra money every month. The VA calls it OJT training.

    Most of the wait is the VA itself. It takes them a long time.

    Miles can really vary. I got jammed up on short runs the entire month of December, and they would span 2 days. Hard to earn when a 285mi run live loads at 11am today, takes 4 hours, and you have a hard live unload appointment at 4pm tomorrow. Since the first of the year, miles got better; longer multi-day runs, only spending dock time at one end or the other of the trip, etc. I have had a few days where it was a 270, 465, etc. but I was able to get them on and off all in one day.
