Training was decent. I actually got a brand new truck.

They promised $1000 per week minimum for the first 6 months. I received less than $500 on more than one occasion. I left after 4 months. have a family to support so I had no choice.

Hi, we no longer have guaranteed pay. When it was in place there were requirements in place in order to receive the pay. If you did not meet the requirements you would not be eligible.
