So I was looking for a new job and somewhere along the way I ended up putting an application in at Butler. They caught my attention because they wanted to fly me out to orientation. On their dime, not something that will be taken out of my check later.

I had a family emergency in Texas, I rush out to Texas and it wasn't much. I called Butler and told the recruiter I was here. She asked when I wanted to go to orientation, I said how about tomorrow? She says can you get to the airport today? So 2 hours after calling her I was at the airport getting ready to leave.

So I fly out, my recruiter, Sherry, called the shuttle driver personally and told him what time to be there. After I got off the plane he said he had been sitting there for 20 minutes waiting. How can you argue with that? He also told me they have a very rare turnover, and they only have about 300 trucks. He said more about orientation but I want to experience before I put it down.

About the hotel, it's nice. I am in a room alone, no roommate, California king bed, and a flatscreen tv. It's an awesome breakfast buffet too. If you complain about this hotel, your standards are too high.

So far I like what I see, the one rumor I did hear was that the President likes to see how the road is, every couple of months he will grab a truck and take a load out for a week.

I pulled this from their website:
