    From what I have read, that is not that uncommon.

    "any" gaps is a little extreme.

    I have read other companies that say the same thing.

    I would send them home too. If they have an attitude at orientation can you imagine how they will be as an employee?

    Now that's funny. How about smokers, pale skin, hairy knuckles... all the other "sign's" of medical risk. Maybe they could demand a DNA test to determine how healthy they will be over the course of thier employment and can fire them right before the breakdown period. In reality, this exist in a lot of industies, just not above board.

    Now that is an inovative manager...

    USA pays better than Schnieder but there insurance is not as good. Both companies run the same parts of the country hauling the same kinds of freight. USA only has about 4000 trucks where Schnieder has over 16,000. As far as getting miles you shouldn't have a problem with it at USA. I never did.
