    I live in Buckingham.. About an hour away from the Waynesboro terminal.. Ummm you probably just took the opening they had.. He said that they only had one spot open out of the Waynesboro Terminal so i'll call and check tuesday... It sounds like a decent gig, i just want to see how often do they have Layovers, cause i'm not down with that!!

    The other side of the James, ok. Well I'm not sure about a spot but I know I'll be there tomorrow, about layover time I'm with you but it's not as bad as some, did you look for an LTL spot?

    Well after pre-hires with SNI, WEL, and TMC I did go with Van Wyk Inc. I started on the 5th. for four days of equipment operation, dropping trailers, etc. I go out on the road Monday with a trainer for 2-3 weeks, of course home every week for 1-2 days. I have been treated nice and they seem to have their ###### together. I spoke to some of their drivers and I didn't hear any crap? I'll keep all interested on my progress as times goes on.
