    I finished up orientation and passed all my testing and started my account last week. I was just wondering if anyone has any idea about the average amount of miles for this account? I know I was told things by my recruiter, but I figured I would go to people who might have more experience with it. I'm out of Illinois. Thanks.

    Yes every stop after the 1st. Pretty good account just slot all avaiable hrs n they will keep u moving. Most of the time the loads utilize your whole 14hr clock. On an average day they will probably will b 2 loads a day, then in rare cases 3.

    thanks again. I've been kept pretty busy. I started on my own sunday, and I am really enjoying it so far. Also, Im not sure if you would know the answer to this, but when can we see our check on crossroads? Like the one we will get on Friday, when is the earliest we can see it? I transfer a portion of it to a different account at a different bank than my direct deposit, and it would be nice to know how much it will be so I can go ahead and start the transfer, since it takes 2-3 days.

    Yes u can check your statement on crossroads. Login then click view paycheck tab. The earliest it will b avaiable for viewing is every Wednesday. The time varies I have an email notification that let's me know it's on there. But your funds still won't b avaiable till friday, well I have direct deposit.

    I have direct deposit too. The way it works is if I put in the transfer on Wednesday, it will take it on Friday, but if I dont know how much Im going to be paid and dont put the transfer in til Friday, it wont transfer to the following Tuesday. So if I know what it is going to be, I can put the transfer in, and transfer the amount over already, if that makes any sense. Thanks for all your help! I just finished my first week, and the miles seem like they've been pretty good. I worked a few days, than had my home time, and since i've come back its even higher. I figure these are pretty good miles for my first week.

    one more quick question- how does the payweek work? is it sunday-saturday? Or when I start my 70 hours? Example- I took my SQT and went out with a trainer until October 1. I got my own truck and started on my own Oct 2. I came home for my 34 hour restart on the 4 and started back to work on the 6. Will the paycheck for this week be from Oct. 2 ( my first day on my own and a sunday) until Oct. 8? Or will it be half training pay, half mileage pay, restarting when I took my 34 hour. Is this making sense? I guess the basic question I am asking is does your pay week go sunday-saturday regardless of which days you drove, so if you drive Thursday-Tuesday, those combined miles are on 2 seperate checks stopping with what you drove until Saturday night with, or does you check go based on everything you drove thursday-tuesday, on one check, restarting when you go back to work Thursday?
