    Just one note, the countdown has begun, 2 weeks from tomorrow, it's vacation time. Two weeks from Sunday, it's cruise time for my wife and I and daughter and grandson.

    Perfect. You've put my mind to rest with your comment sir. So I can request you to put the polishing touches on my training?

    Ok sounds good to me, is that 2000-2400 every week or every 2 weeks? What does that break down to paywise roughly with the extra 10 cents and the 50 bucks ect? Also any option to pick up a load on some weekends to make some extra scratch?

    Yes. Timing is everything. The person in charge of assigning trainees to trainers is my FM. When you get closer to stage 3, I'll talk to her.

    Per Week but we get paid biweekly.

    Too many variables there... Not all miles are in the NE Region so you can't say for sure how much the 10 CPM is going to be and not every load would touch NYC so the $50 is variable too. Just calculate the 2,000-2,400 miles by your CPM and take the balance as bonus.

    If there are loads coming or going one would have the option to working... If they need you they won't say no.

    Grab that chance my friend... I assure you @JohnBoy will get you comfortable in NYC and his training will be better than my one trip to NYC that didn't even include a back... LOL :eek:)

    NE and NYC is always interesting but not to be feared... You'll be fine... Good Luck!!!
