    Xtraboard out of Indy, how much east coast would a driver get? Any chance at day runs or 100% nights?

    Days? You ain't got no seniority dawg. You're about to see a bunch of East in my opinion.

    I'm here to help if you need me. I think last I heard, Indy split into two terminals. Indy can be very hit or miss because it's so close to WMX (055). Towards the end of my 3 years on the board, Indy always sent me to Columbus or WMX.

    Hey guys! Currently going through the hiring process at Estes. They’re taking forever but I am excited. I have a feeling I am going to end up on the Wednesday start which sucks big time but it should be temporary until I get seniority. How long does it usually take to get on?

    It takes about 2 months. Wednesday is a very bad day but you'll have to learn how to rotate your days to what you'd like. Here's an example...

    Let's say you're a Wednesday start. You start Wednesday but you can run it to where you run out of hours on Thursday. You can tell central you don't wanna go home and stay somewhere you'd prefer and start there on a 34. It's many ways to do it

    My first contact from the recruiter was June 15 so I guess I still have over a month to go lol. They’re giving me way too much time to think about it.

    It took me roughly 38 days from the time I applied to my first day of training. That was in 2019 out of 055
