    My take on it is your not offered a job until they hand you the keys to your own truck ;)

    If you make it to orientation, you're hired. Unless you lied and they caught you once you got there.

    Congrats! Glad it's working out for you.

    Yesterday was a rough one. Picked up in Dillard SC on Wed night. Trailer was supposed to be ready at 8 PM. The customer ended up getting me out by 4:15 AM!!! Had just enough time to get it to the final by the 11 AM delivery. Then 4.5 hours to unload. I was not a happy camper...but that's life in Truckload. Detention pay will come in handy.

    Then I got to our Knoxville SVC and got a load from the yard to New Orleans. Getting unloaded here now and then after my break is over I'll run to Tupelo SVC and pick up a trailer and take it home to Chattanooga. I had 1200 miles yesterday evening and by the time I get home I'll be just over 2400 for the week. My FM saved the week.

    Three days off and then out the day after Christmas. I am looking forward to this time off. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and I hope you know in your heart the glad tidings of great joy that it represents.

    My week started off late cause I had a dr. Appt tues so I didn't get to leave home til Wednesday. Left Fulton headed to Chattanooga to grab a ltl to Memphis then got me a leg going to Irving Texas yesterday got that off early this morning then got me a load out of Arlington Texas that's going home with me. Didn't set the world on fire but I sure do appreciate this Texas run

    The no yard is a full svc ctr as well only no fuel avail there . Its called NIL by Averitt . Tough place to sleep planes on 1 side and RR switching yard on other lol . The so yard is so small we have to drop our trls in the yard and bobtail outside gate to sleep tight quarters there , hope that helps a little . Also a svc ctr in Milwaukee . I get to them quite a lot out of Atl
