    Not seeing much on them in recent times. I have a chance to do out and back drop and hook home daily. Close to home and I can park the bobtail at the house. I may find out today if I am on. Orientation is in Sidney, Ohio.

    Any present employees? Been there 1 year +?

    Saw an ad recently that Continental gives 4 weeks paid vacation after working there 12 mos.
    Is that correct or was that a mistake in the ad.

    It says 4 weeks starting day #1. Not sure how that works.
    That's if you run regional/otr. Home daily is 5 days after a year. I just read that on their website. My pay would be $.45 a mile. M-F home everyday. It may be a new account I am going to. Drop and hook both ends. 500mi a day, park my bobtail at home. Right now I am in limbo as a former employer is famous for taking 2 weeks to verify your employment.

    That account you'll be on seems like a good deal. Congratulations on that.

    Maybe. Orientation would be next Tuesday. Recruiter was mulling over options on how to get me to orientation in Ohio. I would be bringing a truck back. Hopefully a sleeper as we know what can happen with reefer freight.

    Probably no stop pay. Hopefully this pans out. Other alternative is go back to dedicated auto parts. I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I was at their office.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Verify that "taking a truck home". I was going to do OTR for them and was told NO one takes a truck home. Must be left at terminal. I went elsewhere.
