    yeah.. what inkeper said. my mentor thought they did this cause new drivers were not putting actual time in. by going this route makes them work.lol. my feelings are that your hours gonna be dictated by the mentor. i would think that most new driver would want to hit their 70 as much as possible while the mentor's trying to teach you time management. but it all equals out in the end i beleive

    You can still run out of Troutdale if you are happy there. Your home terminal is not dictated by where you live or where your license says you live. I know a guy from Pennsylvania that runs out of Lancaster TX.
