    Ok, some new questions.

    Does Millis go to Canada?

    From what I see you don't need hazmat, is that true?

    Do you use your own physical, say from your own Dr?

    How does the orientation process work after your app has been accepted, and do you do the drug screen at orientation?

    Thanks again

    Ok, I'm closer to the edge of jumping onboard.

    Can anyone tell me how orientation goes for the expierenced drivers?

    How long does it take to become a trainer?

    My hesitation in jumping onboard is I am still trying to convince myself it's ok to run in the northeast again :)

    Orientation is three days. Mon-Wed following one of the classes. New and experienced guys go thru orientation together. Consists of road test, pee test, co policy and get issued load lock and straps.

    Trainers have to have 1 year experience and 90 days with the company before going thru their trainer course. And you can't be regional and train.

    A lot of times when I have to leave out on a Sunday(my company is in Beaver Dam) I stop at the truck stop in Richfield and have the Sunday special.

    Be safe out there this weekend everyone.
