    Well I had the interview! I went to the address on their website where I ended up at a farm house and a brand new house being built, so I call them to make sure I am at the right place because there were two Kenworths out front for sale. The girl on the phone told me that I was at the owners house and needed to come to their office so she gave me dierections. So I get to the office building which also houses a salon, chiropractor, and a spine doctor, no sign on any of the dorrs for K&R. I am adventurous so I decide to wonder around and look in all the doors of this place. I finally find a stairway leading down into the basement where I find a group of people in one room sitting around computers on folding plastic tables, and a kitchen table and some chairs in another room. I'm not sure if they just moved there or what. So I let them know I was there for the interview and the safety manager and president begin to "interview" me ( more like tell me about the company then ask if I have any questions). So they tell me they are a 25 driver operation that hauls over dimensional loads of all kinds all through the United States. Drivers make percentage of load which equals out to about .52 a mile and each truck averages about $5k a week and the driver makes 23% of that so they see between $1200 to $1500 a week before taxes, no insurance, and profit sharing at the end of the year and fuel incentive and I can get home when ever I want as long as they know 3 days ahead of time. So they offer me a job and I accept. So they get all my paperwork together and done. They ask me if I want to take my drug test and I said yes. So then the president comes in and asks me if I was comforatable with a 13 speed and I said I could drive anything he put me in. I have not drove for 7 years, but I keep up with truck types and stuff. SO he says after your drug test meet me at the yard and I will get your road test out of the way. All of their trucks are 13 speed Kenworths and Peterbuilts all 2013 or newer and he had 6 new Peterbuilts in Cincy that needed picked up that he had just bought. So I said I would take the road test that day too as I knew my drug test would be fine. So he says well when you leave the hospital turn right go just past the high school turn left on that road then you will see a gravel driveway on the right that goes between two bean fields and follow it back to the brown barn and that is our yard. So I said O.K. see you there. So I get to the hospital where they tell me they don't do drug test there anymore and they weren't sure where to go so I try to call the president on the number that was on his buisness card no longer in service. So at this point a little voice in my head says " this place is unorganized and you should just go home" so I leave the hospital and am going to find the yard so I go the directions I was told and see no gravel driveway and no barns at this point I was done and went home. The president calls my cell phone later on and it was a totally different number. I never answered it because the phone was off and we were out trick or treating with the kids. So I call it later and he answers and sounds drunk so I just hung the phone up and told the wife I think I dodged a bullet.
