    You will. But the good thing is youll get the know how, and a good trtainer will let you do the backing and other small stuff if you ask them. Mine did, and he was there to help. Towards the end I asked him if I could back up solo and he did and was good about it.

    Really?

    They told me that it was home every 6 days, but could stay out longer if I wanted to.

    I hope thats not a lie. I live in Michigan too.

    Where do you run? What kind of truck did you get? Also, is it a sliding pay scale?

    It might be a bait and switch, they are looking to fill slots for Dollar general those guys are home weekly, they also work thier A's off for cheep. $40 to unload then reload a trailer isnt what I call good money.

    If you do go to midwest regional you will NOT get home every 6 days. No chance what so ever. Now if you get on Dollar General or Family Dollar you will be home Friday to Sunday morning every week but you will work hard for it. Family Dollar in particular pays very well for Werner standards and you will be home weekly but you will get in shape fast and get to know down town Chicago VERY well.
