Schneider Intermodal

So I'm a recent grad and after months of lurking on several forums I decided to start out at Schneider's Regional Intermodal (out of Worcester, MA to be precise). They will be flying me out to Chicago for a 3 week training and orientation on the 28th. I will be working Sunday 6am -Thursday evening. I live 10minutes from the terminal so I'm hoping I'll be able to at least drive home for dinner once or twice a week. Here is a breakdown of the pay: 34cpm $30 per load The detention pay will be $15/hr after 2 hours, $30/hr after 4 hours, $45/hr after 6hours and so on... There will be performance bonuses which I just didn't understand the concept They will pay a "reimbursement" of my tuition at a rate of $150 cash a month They will pay a $2500 bonus at increments of of %20 every 3 months and then %40 at the end of the year (so 500, 500, 500, and then 1000) The estimated milage per week is between 2,200 and 2,500. I'm assuming I probably won't run more than 2,000 on a good week during my first few months. Do you guys think 2,000 miles/week is realistic? I'm definitely not going to retire doing this job, but I think it sounds like a very good first gig. What do you guys think? Am I being too naive? Do you guys have any suggestions, tips, experiences you would like to share to help a rookie out?
