    finally got back from the two day orientation with southern cal/eagle and waiting for my phase two trainer they said he should be through birmingham tomorrow or saturday. they treated us well and feed us really well:biggrin_255: watched alot of bull crap videos on hww,smith system,trips fall and spills etc., and i signed my life away to them or that it felt like like it. but so far seemed liked some really good people though. i will be back in 2 to 3 weeks after completing training and will update again about this company be safe jbrown

    has anybody went out with a company and told they will be with a so called phase 2 or evo 2 trainer and went home after orientation to wait for a long time? after my orientation of 2 days on january 30 and 31 was told to go home and he rush the process and so far cant reach him by phone or by email has sent him 3 emails so far no word does this mean they have no guts to tell me that they let me go?

    You know things slow a little around this time of year, can you afford to wait? You can ask but you still have to make the call, you can pick up the phone and see what's available but you would need to go through another orientation if you went with another company. drive55cat

    "they ran my mvr that i showed on my application and told me that they couldn't hire me unless my so called wreck (that someone couldn't tell a red light from a green light) was a year old"

    If the accident is not your fault why would they be holding it against you?

    CYA, is the biggest thing in life today, probably 'cause of thier insurance carriers request or desire. Keep on looking. drive55cat
