    So this is my first crack at providing info for a forum..
    I am a driver with roughly 11 months of driving experience, that is 7 months OTR driving teams with swift and 4 months driving localy hauling ag with doubles.. and I say this with experience if your with a company you believe is a ####ty company and you have less than a year of experience just stick it out, its not worth being jobless..

    With that said I am starting orientation with celadon tomorrow morning.. and I am going to try to keep a day by day post of what's going on and how things are going.. I tend to be a biased individual but I'm going to try my best to keep it legit and fair.

    So stay tuned for what I'm sure is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride..

    What does the brochure say about these kind of conditions?
    This is today.
    Just went over Lookout Pass in the dark.
    Nice 21 degrees in Missoula at the moment. 20160106_112445.jpg
