Thanks Rizen - Not to brag or anything, but 4th grade math is my specialty...it's the last class I got an "A" in. It wasn't til 5th grade that the wheels started to falling off.

I've been watching a lot of your posts, read all the ones about when you were going through the training process with the company because I too am thinking about going through the same program.
I just have a couple questions if you have the time to answer them for me.
How much per week did they end up paying you while you were out with the trainer? Enough to pay for the cost of living out there with him/her for those 5 weeks or however long it is?
How many miles and how much per week did you end up grossing in your first couple months?
Is the work steady? Or is there a lot of fluctuation from week to week?
What's the most amount in a week you've managed to make? And what is the least amount?
My concerns are I don't want to go through this whole program to wind up spinning my wheels and going backwards owing money rather than making any.
I've done some research and have a number I've figured on what it'll cost me to live on the road, now as long as I can expect to make more than my expenses, things will eventually work out for the better I would assume.
Thank you for your time in reading my message. Hope to hear back from you. Take care on the road out there.
Was going to send this message to you via PM but turns out I have to have 7 posts on here to do so.tangerineGT Thanks this. -
If you drove 3384 miles in less than 5 days, that averages out to more than 675 miles per day.
-
of course he didn't say he did it in 5 driving periods did hetangerineGT Thanks this.
-
Neither did I.
Still, it works out to averaging over 675 miles in less than 5 24 hour periods.
The only way I can see it happening is if she had a very good load that delivered on the first day of the pay period. -
Well for one . I am not she !!!! Lets get that covered.
And yea I dropped a 1500 mile load on thursday afternoon .
And I wish I could cover 675 a day , 62 mph sucks !!!!!!!!!!! -
There always has to be someone on here or any forum for that matter that's like nope can't do it .
And start putting together reasons why . Its kinda funny actually that they take the time to prove why someone couldn't do what they said . Lol
That's why there are so many flame wars on forums . Just sayin.Last edited: Feb 13, 2014
