    Hehe, I wish I had as much faith in myself and karma as you do.

    I think I will be a lot less worried once I get a yes or no on the pre-hire. I know a pre-hire is by no means a guarantee, but atleast from the pre-hire forward everything is within my control to work on, can't change the past though.

    Drive safe and take care!

    Well today's been a long day with nothing real exciting happening. We delivered a load at a prison in Indiana and picked up a new load headed to Texas.

    I have been reading ORG's thread http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...rivers/112266-help-a-trucker-wannabe-out.html which I highly recommend to any newbies considering trucking as a career/lifestyle. I am on page 51 now but it's time for me to get some sleep.

    Hopefully tomorrow will bring some good news from CWTL!!

    Night all, drive safe!

    Edit: Finished the last 12 pages, GREAT read! Still no word from Con-Way as of now (2:15 PM CST).

    Katey, don't be afraid to give them a call. Actually, personally I would call everyday until I got a yes or no. The squeaky wheel gets the grease and in the trucking industry they like to see hustler's! Good luck to you, I can't wait to start reading about your adventures. Take picts too!
     
    Katey Thanks this.

    She did interviews for all the people for my class date that day and they day before (about 10 people total I believe) and had to get our all stuff checked so I wanted to give her a little time.

    I am going to call tomorrow after lunch if I don't hear from her before that.

    I have mixed feeling about that popular saying. I believe that sometimes a slightly squeaky wheel gets greased. I also believe that if a wheel is too squeaky, and you have a bunch of other wheels, a very squeaky wheel may just get replaced. (Hope that makes sense)

    Thanks!! I can't wait to have adventures to write about! LOL. I will definitely take pictures, I already have a few from my time as a passenger and have my digital camera pretty handy most of the time.
