Congrats Mello! I hope you have better luck with load locks than I did. I also got my truck in Trenton and they did not have any so they grabbed a set off a yard truck, bent beat up rusted and broken= Junk. BTW Tell us about your Truck.

Well got my first load Monday... My truck has 788,000 miles on it... I have to give it fuel to take off or it will stall... Even in granny gear empty.... LOL but my first load payed 714 miles went from Cincinnati to Minneapolis... Then got another load that payed 1282 miles from menomonie wi to Hartford Ct... And this was supposed to be drop and hook but there is no empties here so I'm sitting here till morning to see if one gets empty which sucks.... Oh and Hahahaha when I got my truck it ran 66mph and when i delivered my first load oppie sent me a msg on the qcomm saying to call him so i did and he told me to stop by BRF and get my truck turned down on my way to CT so I'm at 62 now :/ but hopefully I can get out of here in.the morning with a good run and hit 3k for my first week!

Ok let me try and help a future student on the way Millis trainee PAY works... Wish I woulda known all this in the beginning because I was treading thin ice on money and needed to know how much and when.
Ok so its $500 a week for 3 weeks then $550 for 2 weeks then $600 for any weeks after 5... That's BEFORE TAXES AND SCHOOL PAY is taken out. And if you don't drive for 4 hrs everyday for 7 days you won't get paid until the 7th day is complete. And the 7th day has to be complete before Wednesday to get paid on the following Tuesday if not you won't get paid until the next Tuesday. And let's say you miss a a week and don't get paid... Weelllllll you will now be negative because they still take taxes and school pay out EVERY WEEK whether you get paid that week or not. So expect you next check to be lower than it should. Your take home will normally be around $350 after everything is taken out.
If your like me and every dollar needs to be counted for this could mess you up with your bills if you didn't know all this. Because all my checks were spent before I got them. Lol not getting paid for a couple months really messed me up. But its all good now cuz now i get a chance to make the real money!slim shady Thanks this. -
