If i read that right for solo you make 120 for being availible to work and 41cents a mile on top of that. So a 300 mile day would 243. My guess is there are plenty of short mile runs. I would not consider that bad

The way I read that means $120 a day plus mileage after you go solo, but your mileage will be put on the next month's pay.
I was turned loose on my own after getting my license without any additional training. I've been driving for a year and a half or so now and made it through without any incidents, but it was definitely not the best scenario for a new driver..."here's the keys, go to Navasota and pick up a boom lift" (300 mile turn loading an 18,000 pound machine with a new CDL and zero miles beyond what I drove in school) Looking back on it I should've refused. I made it back to the yard though.
I don't think one week is enough training, but do your best, trip plan, and watch your mirrors... Especially while turning.austinmike and motocross25 Thank this. -
