    The days that you have driven should roll over to the next pay period. It's 7 cumulative days not 7 consecutive.

    Remember you need to get 4 hrs driving in to call it a day for training pay. If your trainer is able to plan you can get a restart in without missing a day. I know your circumstance is different but maybe this example will help u and /or someone else going forward. And it is another good reason for doing some night driving.

    If you drive 8pmbut to 4amu on fridaynight/sat morning u have 4hrs for both days. U take off 34 hours and get moving by 8pm Sunday u have ur 4hrs for all three days.

    Also if u started in the middle of the pay week with your trainer when u first went out u have days in the "bank" to get your 7days. It is not consecutive.

    Hope this helps.

    Just to clarify u have to drive 4hours a day for 7 days. If u had 2 in the bank rolling and only had 5 this week u will get paid.

    Yes I know. But that's not the case... there's no possible way it could have been worked out unless we got another load Sunday and let that one sit. But that didn't happen. We had it all planned out but it just didn't work out after that dispatcher changed us like that.

    I talked to mike today everything is worked out now and so did my trainer and he also called several other people to make sure that dispatcher never does any one like that again. Because it was wrong. There's a lot more to it. But Im leaving it there. If anyone want more details just feel free to call me. 706-508-2707 leave a message if I don't answer!

    The pay period ends on Monday. You actually get paid on Tuesday. Never understood why they just don't pay on Friday.

    Its going good. My trainer is regional so the only states I have seen are GA, SC, AL, MS.. we are at the pilot on I85 exit 90 on our way to charlette NC, I wish I could vet some other experience instead of dropping and hooking at miller in Albany and owens brockway in atl. Been there like 8 times. Ooh and jonesvilles, SC DG, been there 2 times. There's OTR stuff I need to experience with my trainer for the first time like going through a toll.... ans stuff lol but everything is good im just tired of seeing I75 and I85. Ill have to experience the rest when I get on my own I guess cuz he said this is basically all they run on regional... :/
