    Miles have not been a problem for me, most of the time have my next load before I deliver the one I'm on. Pay is kinda low I guess starting out but you get a bunch of raises pretty quickly. Don't know the current situation but I had to wait a week to get my truck and have kept it since then.

    My son tested out the end of july in Harrisberg Pa and got his truck as soon as he came back from hometime.He's dedicated regional making 44cpm and has grossed as low as $428 and as high as $1,511,once he learns how to maximise his drive hours,he should do better;they always have loads available for him.I understand from other posters that freight slows down somewhat after the holidays then picks up again coming into spring but I guess it also depends on what account or region you're on.

    training should take about 3 weeks, if i go on the 19th then I will be ready by january. If she lets me just go take the road test and go right with the trainer, might be quicker than that, Ill let you know what she says and what time frame im looking at.
