All of the miles are paid as "practical miles" not HHG short miles.
If you have just finished a CDL-A School and are needing to get with a company that will further train you.... call the 800 # above, and ask for extension 5718 (Christine) and talk to her. If you haven't been to school yet, ditto. CFI "loves" people who like to drive in the Northeast!! And they have lots of freight in that region.....  8) 8)I was referred by a CFI driver I know to contact Christine. When I spoke with her last week about schooling and working for CFI, she said CT is no longer considered to be within their hiring area. Yet I just saw a link someone posted here at CAD that still had CT listed. Maybe it was just an outdated link? She sent me an info pack, but it did not give a whole lot of info. Particularly explaining more about the hometime...she said I would not be guaranteed to be home in 5 days, or something to that effect, since I lived out of their hiring area. He!!, I'll drive the NE area...it ain't that bad :? . Then again, I haven't driven a semi here though! Based on what CFI told me, I may just decide to contact Fred about going with TMC...skateboarding sounds like it might be for me.
