    I am at C1 Indy right now.............. Classroom training is good and professional. Students ahead of me speak well of trainers there.

    My understanding is once you go solo you will be paid $600 a week for the first 90 days, after which you move to .29 a mile. Your net will depend on your tax/payroll situation. Obama and gang recently increased their share by 6% or so. USA will take $40 a week for training they bought you. I expect my $600 to net around $410 or so. I will keep my health insurance from where I retired. I hear USA health insurance for an employee and spouse runs about $220 a month.

    Usa truck offer all their students or new driver a Guarantee pay of 600 dollars a week for the first 60 days as an solo driver with miles under 2200. Now that is gross. The deductions all depends on your status like child support if you have children, cash advances(trust u will be using those lol) irs back taxes, it all depends on you. But if your clean n u dont use any cash advances, i say u bring home 495 to 530 a week. Now if you ran a good week n acculmated 2700 miles. Usa will pay you what you earn. 2700(miles for the week) x .28(cent per mile or cpm) = 756.00Anything lower than 600 dollars n your within the first 60 days usa will you 600.00 grossAlso our pay period starts tuesday 12:00am to monday night. Your check is issue friday but will come in the mail on monday regardless if you have direct despoit or not.

    I am waiting to hear back from USA (going the Driver Solutions route-- already a yes from PAM, but I don't want team). I am curious about one thing. How many miles per week are you averaging right now? I know I won't be making big money starting out. I am just curious as to how many hours you are getting.

    Hey man, thanks for this thread. I'm just finishing up school next week and will be heading out with USA soon (hopefully). Question: How long after you graduated school did it take for you to get out on the road?
