    Are you coming in as a student? I am coming in as a 1st seat solo driver. My recruiter said I would arrive on the 5th and start orientation on the 6th.

    Never mind they have orientation on Monday and Wednesday.

    Good luck! We all have made mistakes. I know I have and I learned from them and I am sure you did as well.

    Just got an email from my recruiter. I'm all set to go on the dog Sunday. Well at least it's not too long of a ride and I don't have to change buses from Huntsville, Al to Paducah, Ky. I have a roommate oh joy. I can get a private room for $33.33 a night. If you make it threw orientation you get $150.

    Since my physical is only good till 2/6/14 I will need to get another one.

    I am commimg in at 33 CPM and asked when I could get a raise and she said 6 months. I asked how much and she said it depends on how I perform.

    First day of orientation done. What a cold day today. We went over all the QC macros did a wiz quiz and learned info about the company. When you come here come with a DOT physical good for at least 3 months, if not than they will give one at the end or orientation (Weds for me) and charge you $71 of the $150 they give you for attending.

    What a trip I had to get here last night. I went to the Greyhound station and they said that buses were only running as far as Nashville. I called the recruiting # I was given for after hours problems and asked if I could rent a car and drive. The answer given was yes. When I asked about reimbursement from the people here they said who authorized this? I said recruiting. They checked with him and said OK we will take care of it.
