    Got my class a in salinas but have no experience. She was telling me about the training process. Seems like a solid company. Gonna be hard leaving my board behind but I intend to bring my longboard. What's your hometime gonna be like? The website says 10-14 days but she told me 1 for every week. I only intend to do 2 weeks at a time hopefully that's cool.

    Right on are you goin to fly, theyll reimburse u for your ticket and bag fees just make sure you keep your receipts. I wouldnt bring your board definately no room in the truck. Home time is actually up to your trainer so truth be told you might be out 5 weeks at a time. If u want pm me ur number and u can text me any questions

    Hating per diem is like buying an auto because it is "crash survivable". I prefer an auto that is nimble enough to keep me out of trouble in the first place. Usually, those are the smaller models that are not as safe in a crash.

    Give me my $$ now, I don't worry that I may get a bit less on unemployment, because I don't expect to be unemployed in the future. See my sig.

    There is no administration fee for it.

    Are you sure you got that right on $700/week after the first period of training and not that they told you that's about how much you'll earn each week? When I trained it was the $350/week then you got paid $.28 split as we ran team at that point. It probably won't be a month at $350 as it's actually only for the the period that the trainer must always be in the front seat which is ~7000 miles. I road tested out of that in two weeks when I started and was on to mileage pay. Also, there is the chance training won't take you 3 full months either. The second part is based off miles as well although I can't remember how many you needed to be able to test out. Pretty much if you have the miles, are competent and your trainer feels you're ready you can road test to solo early.
