    I believe their main hiring area is easy of i35. Your best bet is to Brad or Gus in the recruiting office and tall to them.

    Well I'm here at the Baymont hotel, it's not a bad place nice and clean, front desk people are respectful. I'm told disrespect, lying, and walking on the grass, will get you removed fast. There are a lot of guy's here in their second week, as well as drivers her for maintenance. Everyone I've spoke with has been great. Looking forward to tomorrow, but nervous at the same time.

    Keep the info coming. I am a retired Army guy trying to find a home so your info and experience over the next few weeks is a great source of information. It will help me decide between TMC, Melton or Millis Transfer. I am down to three.

    Day one of orientation is in the bag. So far so good. Only list one guy due to an injury status that hasn't been cleared by the va, drug results will be in by Wednesday, we're told that is when to expect most of them to drop. Today consisted of paperwork, dot physical, drug screens, tarp test. Was basically told if I passed those and can do pass the pee test then I'm good so long as I don't do anything stupid. General consensus is disrespect of the hotel staff, cussing in the public areas, smoking in unauthorized areas, and getting on the grass will get you removed asap. Lying on your driving record, will get you booted, and failing the drug test will get you finding your own way home. George as others have said is a freaking riot, but he expects you to listen and do as instructed. But he makes it fun. Lunch was great, was country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, salad, desert, and coffee our tea. Very filling and very good. Dinner is not provided, but if you get your filling at lunch, something small to eat and you are good till morning. Breakfast at the hotel is good, but not provided, however for just over $3 it's a good price. My dinner consisted of the TMC burger, onion rings from the Chrome cafe south. Cost was around 8.50 and it's freaking awesome.

    Tomorrow we're told we will be working on the simulators getting an idea of how the 13 speeds work, and working more on their testing. We are also going to be doing some work on straight line backing.

    Everyone in the class sees one person with a line crossed through his name on the TelePrompTer. Someone in the class asks out to George. "Hey what happened to that guy" George's reply "he's back at the hotel T bagging your Oreos before his bus ride out." Funny guy I like him. I'm in orientation too.

    I think you guys will love it. Just stay focused, it's a good time, and be the best sponge you can be. It goes fast once you think about it. Keep it up.
