    Careful going to too many orientations.
    I have heard from several sorces that many companys will put on your DAC report that you were hired and let go when you decide not to take the possition.
    On your DAC it will then appear as a job that you had, even though you never hauled a load for them. But if you go to several orientations during the year it will appear that you are a fleet jumper and good companys will not even look at you.

    They tell me if a company sends you for a drug test--that means your officially hired for that company even if you dont take a load or go to orientation.

    10-4 i have not been to any orientations...i will not go to orientation unless i plan on working for a company...just looking for info on some companies for now....there are a couple wanting me to start with them....but no orientation as of yet..thanks for the advice though, i been around this kinda work long enough to know what some of these place will do to a person..all i have done at this point is talk to some companies, a couple have checked my mvr and are trying to get me to come work there..that's why i need more info on some places if anyway possible to get some

    Enjoy the flight,Suppose your going to fly into Midway.Mabey if clear day you can see the mills,the trucks look like tiny toys.Coke has a fancy yard off cline freeway in east Chicago IN.JNR place is Carlisle/Harrisburg(back east) This is the take from a steel-hauler.Seems like coke is more non-NYC than JNR.

    everything looks good with koch,except they want to sign agreement i will go into nyc if offered...they say they don't go very much, but i have never been asked by a company to sign and agree that i would go into nyc...so i'm rather confused and hesitant....can't seem to find anyone who drives for them to get details...koch is saying they might can get me out there this week, if not then next week for sure..at least if next week i might get more time to her some info and decide......
