Did I hear this right?

I'm leaving Sunday morning on a bus to orientation.. The recruiter said I would be out 3 weeks with a trainer and afterwards 40,000 miles teaming then in my own truck.. I think every other company says a few weeks out with trainer then off to your own truck.. I'm wondering did I hear this correctly or did the recruiter not know what she was talking about? lol.. I don't mind this if she is correct because this was only company to give me a shot and I have to get in the door some way, BUT does this sound right?

 

Thanks for the replies.. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable after only 3 weeks of training.. Lol.. It makes me feel better to know that ill have to be out a little longer to try and get a little better at driving before I'm by myself.. It sounds like ill be out at least 10 weeks with someone else which is fine because I need all the practice I can get..

 

That sounds like death waiting to happen for a newbie.. Lol.. Just sayin

 

Actually I'm going with Paschall truck lines.. About how long will it take to complete that 40k miles? 8 weeks or so?

 

Ok.. Will I make more in my teaming phase than in my training phase.. I'm assuming I would.. I'm starting at .15 per mile for training and the same when I go to the team phase.. Would it be something like .15 x 2500 miles per week training at $375 a week? Then .15 x 5000 miles per week for $750 a week teaming or do I have it all wrong? Lol
