    If
    If you wanted to live in the truck (no mortgage or rent payment so you can really $ave), how do you think it’d work out?

    Also if you don’t mind me asking, how is the pay?

    If you’re ok with living in a smaller space then I think It would be alright. I for one don’t think I’d ever do that but everyone’s different. And I’m still on training pay for the next couple days but once I go to mileage pay it’ll be .42 cpm for six months then up to .45

    I’d plan to spend most of my time on the road anyway. I’d try to be driving when my 11 hours weren’t up or when I’m not on my 36 hour break.

    And any idea what the average driver would net weekly (again, IF you don’t mind me asking).

    As a company driver anywhere from $900-1200 depending on the company

    I’m only 2.5 hours from Jax. It sounds a lot better than the mega carriers out there.

    Well the training wheels are off! Got assigned my own truck today at the terminal. Got my comdata card and set up on our McLeod app. Waiting for a load assignment may have to do some safety videos possibly
