    It’s all relative. Just depends how one wants to look at it. You can use a 7 day schedule or like myself, a 5 day week based on 14 hour days. My 2 weeks I’ve taken this year was based on 40 hours. First week was averaged out to $1490, second at $1540. The hometime I’ve accumulated gets tacked on the end, usually for jet lag recuperation. Lol.

    I'll be lucky if mine this time around is $500 with all the time off I've had to take over the last year! But, couldn't be helped. Still kinda sucks though. :(

    Kinda wondering myself when that second paid week benny kicks in since, in nearly three years, this is the first I've heard of it.

    I appreciate the info. Not surprised I'd have to learn that from another driver and not one of the cubicle dwellers.

    It's in the handbook online or at least it was. I don't know about now.
