    I have received a copy of the Trans-Am Truck Lease Agreement. Lots of big words in there. However with lots of time reading and re-reading its still hard to understand. Im not sure why they add $.05 CPM to the weekly truck payment. Weekly truck payment plus $.05 CPM whats that all about?

    The $0.05 cpm goes into an account for the purchase of the truck at the end of the lease.

    Thanks .honeybadger, I'm in orientation now and the things I've heard are somewhat correct. The shuttle is broken down at the present time. I had to walk to WalMart yesterday(4.5 mi) and caught a 10/10 Taxi back for $10. A few of the guys in my orientation got a $60 cash advance Friday (make sure Darren activates it though). I'm on the computer in the Holiday Inn now. I didn't/don't have a refrigerator in my room, but everything else is available. Sprint came to our orientation on Friday. They were running a special (on top of our 13% discount, the I Phone 4 was free with a 2 year contract) There was 1 person sent home though. He said he had to clear up a warrant he had at home. The drug test was Wednesday and the results come back the next afternoon. We were told our class was the first in four weeks not to have anyone fail it. We start the driving range tomorrow (Monday and will leave supposedly on Wednesday night or Thursday depending on when your trainer arrives).

    Panhandle flash is correct. The .05 cpm is set up in an escrow account.
