Tri-State Question

Can anyone tell me what the per mile rates are for a cargo van at Tri-State?
Also, why does it take 3 days for orientation?
Thanks, Jumbuck:)

The first two days are paperwork and training videos, you have physicals and drugs tests, and the last day is a partial day with a tour of headquarters and meeting fleet coordinators. Not to mention vehicle inspections in there too.

Love the 3rd day, a whole lot of hurry up and wait (sound familiar haha). When I was with them over a year ago, everyone had to go on a test drive to show you can drive safely. Even cargo vans have to prove they can back up to pass. A little over kill if you ask me. But orientation was enjoyable and good donuts :)

I liked the company (worked for them twice 10 yrs apart), good people. No problems with pay. I was driving straight truck team. They just could not keep us busy enough. No real complaints other then the miles. If you have to log (unless they stopped it) you would get speed log violations in the mail if you went over the computers set speed regardless of what the actual highway speed was. They said that was just how the system was set up, pretty much just filed them in the trash haha.
