The 5/2, 5/3, or 6/3, or whatever the formula, is simple. The first number is the number of days you are working, the 2nd is the numbers of days off. This formula only works if you get back to the yard, and out of the truck for your days off.

I really need some help. I’ve been offered to onboard with Seymour IN. Apparently the recruiter did not explain things to me. What is this mentor deal? No one said anything about going OTR with another driver-just a 4 day orientation, a weekend off, then report to DC following Monday. How long are you OTR with another driver? How does pay work for that? Are there female mentors? Also, should I tell my current company I am leaving before or after the class? I’ve read some threads that say you could come back jobless. This is confusing to me. I feel very under informed at this moment. Is there any type of rider policy or no? Do you ever have an opportunity to get an assigned tractor? I have 15yrs of experience and I don’t believe I’ve ever been more confused about a company, ever. I hear and read good things. Then I hear and read bad things. I just want the pay, and the on boarding process outlined pretty please! Somebody help!

- The pay for your mentoring period is the same as normal pay..you'll get paid for all miles, drops, hooks, etc.
- Perhaps the only flaw in the WM hiring process, is that you aren't in fact guaranteed a job until you complete onboarding. Quite a few don't make it through onboarding, and because they quit their previous job, are now without any job. Is that by any means ideal? Not even..but it is what it is. My suggestion is to take a week off from previous job if you can, and only quit that job after passing WM's onboarding. I realize that isn't possible for most, but if you can swing it that's the best way to ensure you have a job at the end of WM onboarding. Once you pass WM onboarding, you're an official WM driver..so you're good to quit previous job.
- Rider policy? Yes.
- Assigned tractor? Possibly. Depends on program you get assigned to/choose. Programs (work schedules) are generally available by DC seniority...so until you get a bit of time in at the WM DC you're working out of, you're most likely going to slip seat. Yea, that sucks..but the high pay you'll be making, can sometimes ease that pain.
Any other questions, post them here and someone will amble along to answer themtruckdriver31 Thanks this. -

Onboarding update!
Onboarding was moved to Red Bluff, California. Drove down yesterday and when I arrived at the DC this morning was told they were expecting 8 of us. 6 showed up. About 10AM this morning 1 of the candidates was called out of class and told to bring their things with them. Never saw him again!
We are now down to 5 and told to show up at 7am tomorrow morning and start doing pret trips.
Treatment has been excellent, excited for tomorrow.slim6596 and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
