Well I'm supposed to finish sending these forms in and then schedule orientation for next week at the Springfield terminal. Hopefully this goes well. Can't wait to get back out on the road! What can I expect at the Springfield terminal? What hotel will they put me in and does it have a shuttle to US Xpress?

They use the Quality Inn at Springfield. Didn't care for the hotel. They have a shuttle to the terminal.
Flareblitz Thanks this. -
Thank Duo, wish me luck on my road test. Last company I was with had automatics(Maverick) so let's see if I turn their transmission into powder lol.

You'll do fine. The company is going to automatics but even if you road test with a 8/10 speed...as long as you don't kill anyone, you'll pass.
Flareblitz Thanks this. -
I doubt I'll even make it off the lot so avoiding killing anyone shouldn't be a problem lol. Are they going back to automatics? I heard that they were getting rid of all of them. What kind of route will they take me on? From looking at Google Earth, Springfield is right off the interstate. Doesn't look too congested to me.

They started going back to automatics in mid 2014.
Flareblitz Thanks this. -
Oh, neat. I did like the automatics with Maverick better than the manuals with PAM. Granted part of that may be based on my 'trainer' with PAM teaching me how to shift by screaming in my ear every time I would grind a gear >.>

Springfield is the black hole for Verizon phone service, hope you don't need to make a call if you use them. LOL
