    Thinking about going to w/s, but what I'm being told you do get paid,$100 the first and fifth day and the final $200 on your first check, once you get your own truck.

    That's right, you get a $100 on the first day (Monday), and another $100 on day 5(Friday). Then when you get your truck assignment on week 2 you get $200 but with taxes taken out on the whole $400, so it ends up being somewhere in the $130-150 net depending on you tax exemptions.
