you know what.>??
i am wondering if this is some sort of driver-leasing place, where they have accounts(read the ad) and you are the "fill in driver" for vacation times, etc....maybe even a driver for striking companies.....
like at my place, we have ONE GUY that has to fill in at like 4 locations....!!!
but he drives to all the locations in his car.
he's also given a hotel room, with a kitchenette and they give him a food allowance!

They've offered jet-set for a while with tanker. I'm wondering if this is a way to fill former Watkins/Sheperd slots or something else. Beneath the surface there are some odd gigs at SNI.

This may explain what Jet-set is about......

Things to consider:
- Who takes care of booking flights?
- Are flights booked in advance of your "tour"? Or is return flight left open ended "in case they can't seem to get you back in time"?
- Being in a truck for 3 weeks that is not "yours", how much baggage/luggage are they willing to pay for as all airlines charge per bag nowadays?
- Your mode of transportation to/from originating airport, as well as cost of long term parking reimbursed? With some parking lots charging $10/day, this can be EXPENSIVE
- Once at destination, on your "travel days" (the days b4/after your 21 days OTR) are you provided accommodations: hotel?, vehicle (for stocking up on supplies)?, transportation to/from terminal?
- As a slip seat: how clean can you reasonably expect the truck to be when you get there?
- How are the trucks set up? Inverters? Fridge? APU?
This is just a "START" to the questions I would have with this.rabbiporkchop and speedyk Thank this. -
this is gonna cost them more than they think. air fares are not cheap. -
Sounds like a glorified swing driver.
