    Hotels. You do not sleep in the truck at all while training. I spent a couple of weeks in a hotel while running local at another terminal with a trainer. They paid me the IRS mileage rate to drive my car there.

    Once you have your own truck, how often do you sleep in hotels/truck?

    Do you have to take your car or only choice?

    Does Superior reimburse you for that? Just curious.

    If you are experienced you might take your truck in there with a load. I was straight out of school and not solo in the truck. It’s part of training but not the beginning of it like many companies.

    Company paid

    Every terminal has a hotel they use. You just show your ID badge. When I was not at a terminal I turned in receipts.

    Yeah, I'll be making use of that perk occasionally. The biggest pain is finding truck parking if you're not near a terminal. However, dropping the trailer at a terminal and off duty driving to a good restaurant and hotel is a sweet deal on a reset.

    You sort of learn where they are after a while. Google maps satellite view helps spot truck parking as well.

    How often do you guys get to shower since you can’t really park at truck stops with a hazmat load?
