    Wow ok thanks for the info. Did they pay for your plane ticket and lodging at least during orientation? Also it will cost almost $200 before I even get in a truck? Yikes kind of steep for someone on Unemployment < ! Did you have orientation in Illinois? I guess I'll give recruiting a call this morning then! Thanks again!

    Yes they paid for the travel to orientation and the hotel while there. The hotel offers a continental breakfast and they provide lunch while there. The only terminal they have is in Caseyville, IL, so that's where orientation is held. It cost me $200 bucks, so I know where you're coming from. They will let you set up payments via payroll deduction for the items required. I'm not trying to make things negative, just want to provide as much info as I can to help others decide whether or not to work for them (Henderson). This is now the 2nd time since Tuesday that I've been left sitting, waiting for a load. Doubt I'll be going anywhere this weekend. Currently have about 1k miles for the week.

    Sitting at home. That's the only plus to my sitting. Been checking the qc every few hours and no load yet. Weekend dispatch DOES NOT answer the phone, so I'm guessing I won't leave til Monday, maybe even Tuesday morning.
