    The $350 is gross. You can take their per diem during training and then switch afterwards depending on what you want to do. I have not heard of them deducting pay for bus fare. You will have a roommate at the hotel unless you request a single room at check-in and pay $22 per night by cash or credit. The OP also asked about payscale after training but that depends on what you do. The only way to make decent money is on a dedicated account and that still doesn't pay good. The family dollar account supposedly grosses $800/wk and that's unloading trailers all day piece-by-piece down rollers into the back of the store--after you maneuvered the trailer around cars and dumpsters down a back alley.

    They have such a high turnover, orientation classes start on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at their Allentown terminal. I forgot to mention the first day is a DOT physical and drug test. Their health insurance is expensive and has high co-pays, something like $35 for a regular doctor visit. This may be the standard, idk, I'm used to $15 co-pays.

    There was a guy who had to do a recovery for his assigned truck and it was that nasty inside he had to drive with the windows down so he didn't throw up from the smell. Then he sat at the terminal for 2 days until they cleaned it out for him.

    I have a couple of classmates who started a week ago or more. The first day was drug test and physicals, and computer classes. They have since gone out with a trainer, they receive 350 a week and will be out till Christmas or later. They choose to go straight thru training, so they will receive a 500 dollars bonus after their 200 plus hrs are complete. I on the other hand just started with my company and will be in my truck before them on or before Christmas. My company pays 400 a week and less training time.
