    It's not actually paid by the week. You're paid for each day you drive or are on the truck. So if your mentor takes off and you go home you don't get paid.

    You dont get paid if your within 50 miles of your home. Nana is right, its a daily pay that would add up to the amount per week.

    You grab the qualcomm and send in a certain macro with your driver code or last 4 digits of your social security number (can't remember which) every day and get credited for pay that day. If you have a cool mentor and says you can go home for a day or two, he will input that info for your daily from the truck and it looks like you are still on the truck and will be paid. Don't forget that macro, it's your bread and butter. You are in charge of the qualcomm as the student anyway so you will send that one anytime after midnight and before 6 am daily along with the macro 10 for the team operation of you and the mentor.

    It'a macro 27. And yes it comes out to like 62 dollars a day. Which is actually not bad compared to most companies.

    no it doesn't. anytime within those 24 hour day. If it's not done by a certain time at night, they send you a reminder over the qualcom.

    Each mentor runs their truck as they see fit. Not all mentors put the student "in charge" of the qualcom. And Robert Smith is correct, that 27 just has to be entered within the 24 hr period and you do get an automatic reminder.
