    I originally didn't see Frenzy's response about the chains there, go with his advice. I do everything I can to avoid lanes where chains are necessary.

    JD that's no biggie, we all had to do something like it on the kiosk. It's just a part of the on going training to help with the different scores the Government is keeping track of. The low scores keep many of us rolling past the weigh stations as we get the green light.

    since i am an experience driver, i just did 50 hrs with a mentor(took 2 weeks to do it since it was over the holiday) pay has changed since november. its minimum wage while on duty and +1 dollar extra per hour while driving. so i was paid 8/hr for onduty and 9/hr while driving( i live in calif.)
