    How much are you going to get paid for the DG account?Did they mention how much you would receive for unloading your trailer? Two things are new since I was their,the hair testing and cameras.

    I was told drivers average 1000-1300 a week on this account, it was unload pay I beleive was $40. I don't remember exactly, it's wrote down in my room. However, the cameras aren't really cameras it's more of a warning that you're following too close or whatever they have different safety systems in different trucks.

    So in other words those cameras are tattletales like the Qualcomm,lol..Be careful so you don't get too many warnings otherwise safety will call you in.

    Pretty much. Lol if you get a red light you have 45 seconds to regain the 8 second following distance before it reports it to safety but it only works at 19 mph and above so bumper to bumper wont be an issue. The other things are a lane departure device, if you drift into a different lane without your turn signal it alarms you, if you do it a certain number of times it then sends it to safety. I think 5 times is the magic number there. Not too sure.

    I've noticed you're remembering alot as if you've been doing this awhile,I think your trainer will be glad he's got a good student to train.

    Thank you! I was told by the lady that does the assignments and stuff that I was assigned one of the best trainers they have, im just hoping they don't swap my trainer since im waiting on the doctors office. Also, if any of you guys use cpap make sure to have your card read and bring that paperwork with you! Another guy in my orientation is having to wait for a trainer and make a trip back home to get things in order...just thought I'd share!

    Update: still haven't been Abe to clear orientation as I had to wait on my doctors office and then sit in with the terminal doctor and now waiting on the folks in Omaha. Probably gonna be stuck in the hotel until Monday now. I hope I still have the same trainer I was pre assigned. I'll update again soon when something more exciting happens....
