    Congrats Y2K! I've been watching these threads as I was planning on going with May myself. I ended up taking an OTR job offer with a local private hauler 8 miles from the house. Logistically it makes more sense. No Greyhound trip to Pensacola, and a safe place to park the truck while on hometime.

    Good luck to you!

    if you stay in the hotel they give you (if you were offered a bus + hotel reservations) they try to get you with a trainer on the last day of orientation.

    Well they got me a room but I'll be driving down since it's only about 80 miles to Brooks from here.
    I called Leona today and asked her to reserve me an extra day so I can drive down Sunday night rather than fight my way through Portland Monday morning trying to make it down there by 8:00am.

    I would have done the same thing. The hotel they put you in is a pretty nice place with all kinds of food in the area. There is a local night spot called AJ'S just a short walk down the road from the hotel that is a after work spot for some of the office staff. Have a good one brother will see ya out there!
