    Yeah. Still here. Trucks still in the shop.

    I spent the day watching Hatfield and McCoys.

    Agreed. That's the only thing that I can think of that would shut "everything" down.

    Pleased to meet you, Biggare. :biggrin_25514: I'll have to add you to my list of TTR people I've met.



    This movie, BTW, is fringe.




    Hope the next pot of coffee is better.:biggrin_2555:

    Pleased to meet you too Wedge.
    I was wondering what this movie was, couldn't keep up with it too well.
    Coffee wasn't too bad, just a little strong.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    My fiance will be attending Chattanooga State in March for his CDL training. USEXPRESS has made him an offer however, they won't take me due to my past mistakes, and we were wanting to drive teams so, what we are wanting to know about is what he, or we, should expect for income during training? We have heard stories from Covenant trainers of how the trainees starve out there. Would anyone be able to enlighten us as to if he will be able to pay our home bills and still be able to eat himself out there? We do understand that mileage is not guarantee. Any information is appreciated....thanks!

    I believe he gets paid $49 a day during training.

    Then he can expect $400 - $900 first eight weeks after training. After that I would say $600-$1,000 a week.

    Are you both able to get on with another company ?
