    Not bad. After delivering in Hawthorne NJ in the morning I am grabbing a load out of New Brunswick to Eau Claire good miles, but only headed that way so they can get me to a KW. Have had to regen 4 times so far in the last week and seems I've had the smoke screen option installed.

    You would be correct for PA you can idle if it has the cali idle sticker on it. I never have had a issue idling if its been cold or extremely hot out in any state except for when I have been in LA area out in cali.

    Okay, got a couple of questions for you guys about bonuses and how they work: I am on Per Diem, my trainer was not (He was complaining about being audited by the IRS because he could not prove what days he was out, having to hire a lawyer, ect...so I'm glad I chose per diem) anyway, he could not answer my questions because he didn't know what differences there were in non per diem and per diem pay.

    So I know some things are different, but not what.

    1.) Performance bonus: I know there is a bonus at 2,000, another at 2500, and another at 3,000. How much is the bonus for Per Diem?

    2.) Safety Bonus. I know there is a Quarterly bonus every quarter and another at the end of the year, How much is it for Per Diem? Also, what causes you to lose it?

    3.) Idle Bonus. My trainer didn't care in the slightest for idle times, there was one point the truck didn't stop running for 4 days straight, but Harold told me about it in school. How does the idle bonus work, at what point do you get a bonus and how much, and when is it paid?

    4.) Are there any bonuses I didn't mention?

    Per diem performance bonus is the same

    Per diem safety bonus is .03 cpm for all miles driven. I think you get .01 cpm per quarter and then .02 cpm for annual.Non perdiem is .01 cpm.....005 cpm for each qtr and .005 cpm for the annual.

    Idle bonus....who cares...a dollar a day for me to be comfortable? Screw em I am gonna be comfortable.
