    just remember sometimes they just can not get you home at the exact time you want to be home. i wanted to be home for xmas but on the 22nd i will be delivering in san fransisco and no matter how fast i drive my truck ain't making it to alabama fro christmas. in this industry home time is never a guarantee but they get you home most of the time on time. my biggest problem that i have had with home time is my old fleet manager used to get mo home 3-4 days early but i just wanted the home time so i had nothing big to be home for.

    Orientation is not paid as you are not officially a part of the company until you finish it and are hired and starting the training portion. At that point you make 350 a week until you are in your own truck.:biggrin_25524::biggrin_25514:
