    Well got my permits all but hazmat. someone on here said wait because apparently it dos not transfer over from state to state.talked to a recruiter today named Tabitha so far looks like I'm accepted I just need my work to fax over history of employment . Only thing worrying me is not making any real money for 3 to 5 weeks. I guess I don't understand at what point do you start receiving the $600 a week and if you're willing and want to run more miles as a team with you and your instructor then the 30,000 can you I would like to gross 900 a week if I can

    My chains get used too. But that's entirely my choice. I've sat it out far more times than I have ever chained up. For me conditions need to be improving and weather moving away before I'll throw on the chains.

    I put chains on a post storm sunny day on the Nevada side of Donner to only take them off at the top cause the requirement had dropped and the sun was turning the ice pack into slush.

    you won't find me on the side of the road in poor conditions putting on chains to drive further into a storm. I can't imagine me getting caught out there unaware with all the technology we have today to tell us what's ahead.

    My FM says park it if you don't feel safe, and keep him updated.

    there have been a few parking lots I've needed to throw a little iron for traction. You don't necessarily have to put them on to use them for traction to get out if a parking lot jam.

    At Prime, you get yourself stuck and you'll be paying to get yourself out. Ice, snow, mud...

    Yeah, you ain't grossing $900 a week in training. At .12/mile I don't know of any team that runs 7500 miles unless its some fluke trip that was held back from the previous week.

    so teen drivers at prime don't make over 7,000 miles what is the split rate ? I heard on one of the threads someone making 2800 dollars a week before taxes although I guess it could be BS

    So the hazmat won't transfer to the Missouri license so do we get the city of first in Missouri transferred back to our home state and then we apply for the hazmat? because I've passed all my permit test except for tanker hazmat I was going to take them this week so I so I should just take tanker and wait on the hazmat
