    Got my second check today. Took home just over $400 after taxes so probably ~500-550 before. Looks like the recruiter's honestly checks out again haha
    Got a little over 50 hours left in training.
     
    Lightside and GWS Thank this.

    That's about average I think for drivers in the training period. You'll earn more going solo surely.

    It won't be right away so just stay with it give it a month then you should start getting bigger checks the first few weeks your DM will be trying to see how you work and see if your worth a #### so once you go solo be on time and put in work and show them you can hang

    Hey Casanova do you happen to know what the current benefit costs are and when do they become available to the employee?

    I don't know the prices but they start the first enrollment period after 30 days of employment. Enrollment periods are quarterly.
    Fine with me. Hoping to have a good relationship with my DM. Plus side is I've got no bills. Insurance is paid for the year, lease ended on my apartment, and my cell phone bill is $40. I can afford to stick it out for a month or two before I start feeding the bank.
     
    GWS Thanks this.

    Only thing that sucks is no APU and being mostly in AZ it's gonna suck. I'm heading to AZ once my 10 is up at 1am and my APU took a #### in Utah on Saturday

    Isn't swifts policy that idling is okay if it's over 70 degrees out?
    Unless you're an o/o. Then it's all about your pocket ha
