It would seem to me if a person drives 1500 miles in a week or around 214 a day to try and average 4,500 miles on a 21 day month, @ $3.50 a gallon for fuel and you get 20 MPG your still going to need close to $375.00 for a ten day out. Plus it will most likely be 19-21 days before you see your first full weeks pay depending on the length of Orientation and when a work week starts and ends. Plus living on the road has to cost something.
