    I just spoke with my recruiter. She told me she may have a spot for me this Monday but it won't be in Ellenwood and she would call me tomorrow with travel arrangements. Where are the other training places?

    Oh, I didn't catch that before. So you are enrolling in the CDL school? I also assume you only received a "preHire" offer ... not a true job offer ... that won't occur until after training, right?

    Also, if the standard DMV test is not challenging enough, prepare yourself for the HazMat endorsement...that'll keep you busy! ;-)

    Go ahead and also knock out the doubles/triples and tanker tests while you're at it, I did. I even went ahead and got my passport and TWIC card. (Then again, maybe Roehl will fund those later on (?).

    Regarding the flatbed division, I'm wondering if I can transfer after 6 months, even though I'm not in that hiring area? I'm in a holding pattern right now, still waiting on paperwork finalization so I can get scheduled for orientation.

    Wish you well!
     
    TSRoll Thanks this.

    Yeah I have the pre-hire form already. The DMV test doesn't seem to challenging with all the practice tests I've been doing.

    Actually found an error in my DMV booklet where something was printed twice.

    Whoa...I don't want to get caught up in that! That's why I'm still waiting on my doc to forward 2 release forms in to Roehl regarding being released from his care for a shoulder injury AND to verify why I took a narcotic (pain reliever) last month. Just felt like i needed to disclose everything, not knowing what mighta shown up in a hair follicle test (even though I only took a total of 5 Percocets).

    ellenwood is.....to be blunt, a bit of a dump.

    yes, they would show up. thats why companies run the hair test (just hair, not the follicle btw), it is not that hard to fool a pee test.

    i went there, nice terminal in a nice town. expect to visit marshfield to play in the sandbox :)
     
    Nottoway Thanks this.

    Sweet! What kind of sandbox ate you speaking of? Also my recruiter told me there's no longer a reefer division, just dry and flats.

    I was just told yesterday by my recruiter that there was a reefer division and that they were hiring for it.
