    It took them 40 days from the time I sent in my app, till I was at Orientation. I've heard others that took 2 months or more. The ladies in Indianapolis are VERY thorough. Dallas is supposedly more lax and no idea about the Georgia office.

    Mine is being handled by Kentucky. I think my wife is more anxious than I am. So far I've just let the process play out, but if I need to I'll make a phone call next week and see if I can speed things up a bit.

    My app is being done through Kentucky as well. I started my process on August 15th. I talked to Jodi today and she told the only thing they needed was my new long form which I faxed in today.

    Yeah mine took a while! I am all in and going to orientation on the 29th. I guess part of it took so long because I have been working 50 hours a week and the truck needed some stuff done and blah blah blah! All I know is I am done with my current job soon and going to finally run my own truck!!!
     
    SHC Thanks this.

    From that point 2 days tops. For me it was like 6 hours since I got the final stuff to them early enough in the day.

    Rockford which is nice because my BCO advisor is out of there. Already have a sit down scheduled for after orientation to make sure I am all set.
