    So It Continues. :biggrin_25511:

    Hello everyone.

    I just returned from delivering my doctors note to Central. They told me that I will need to take another DOT physical. :biggrin_2556: Chalk up another delay. I hope they still use trucks to deliver freight by the time I get back out there.

    The DOT is scheduled for Monday, but I'm waiting on a confirmation call from Conley.

    Sneaking up on it, I suppose.


    More to come I'm sure.


    Thanks for reading.

    Dude, I certainly hope this company turns out to be worth all the hoops they've made you jump thru. And I sure hope you've got something else cooking on a back burner. Just in case. You've been out of school for a while now. I hope that doesn't become a factor if you do have to look elsewhere.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    So do I. It's been a costly exercise, hopefully not in vain. Being out of school for a while is of great concern to me, and will have an impact on how I proceed should the deal with Central go up in smoke. Although I've had to go the extra mile since the trainer snafu, nothing, up to this point, has led me to believe that Central is going back on it's word.

    Sticking with Central eliminates the "time since graduation" factor. I'll simply pick up where I left off.

    Geez Wedge..........
    you have the patience of a saint and I hope things turn soon. Good to know about the 'being out of school' as I was thinking the same thing. Your clock is ticking. Glad to hear it's not.

    Wedge i have read everything and i must say you are a very nice guy.

    For that you are a better man because you don't flip out or it will take a lot!:biggrin_25514:

    AS i said before you are better than me because i couldn't have handled what you have dealt with.
    I hope your past trainer gets stuck somewhere and you pass him on the road!
    Just tell him you couldn't hear him!#
    :biggrin_255:
    This is all bull you deserve alot better treatment than you have received!

    I am done with my rant cause TR blocks out bad words and taken bad words of my list limits me(lol))

    Thanks for the support, Tree.

    I decided a long time ago not to subscribe to the "everything is disposable" mentality. When things don't quite go the way we expect, sometimes it's necassary to put in the extra effort, or in this case, comply with a request, and exhibit patience.

    But sometimes things can't be saved, I know this all too well. This episode is going to end one way or another. I'm prepared for whatever happens, good or bad.
