HI All,

I've been driving for a long time but this is something brand new to me. I tried to find this topic in the forum but with no success.

Anyway, I just got a new job and have to go to training for about 3 - 4 days to learn how to operate a pneumatic trailer, something that's also new to me. The company is putting me up in a hotel. I decided to drive my own vehicle there simply because it would be easier than taking a bus or train. I didn't ask if it was "paid training" or not(I'm not too worried if its not). I'm just wondering what companies typically pay, or reimburse to drivers for training like this. I'm sure there are good companies and bad companies. This is a good company. Can anyone tell me what I can expect in compensation or reimbursements

Thanks

Well, I can't be certain of all companies, but from the 5-6 I have spoken with, $75-$90 a day for training and orientation. I'm not sure about reimbursements other than bus/car rentals. Usually they'll only cover the amount of a rental up to the price of a bus ticket.
