    So it may take a couple of months to get up there (don't despair!) but Easy is right on. That being said, you'll need to lay some money away to help with the ups and downs. That's $800 AVERAGE. Meaning there will be $600 weeks and $1200 weeks, and you don't get paid while on hometime.

    ...its not quite like being on a fixed salary, but after you get used to dealing - it works fine.

    Yup. Your truck is your truck, unless you take an extended period off.

    U2 took a month (?) off, and had to turn in his truck... a week or two, and you're alright I believe.

    Ive heard up to a week with approval. When I was off for a week I had also stayed out 4 straight months so... I had some time built up.

    When you get your truck, talk to your new FM about getting a load through the house so you can get your truck set-up. It just depends on freight as to when it happens...
