    GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GET
    OUT
    AND
    LOOK

    Also, DO NOT HURRY UP!!!!!!

    TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!

    IF EVERYONE BEHIND YOU IS IN A HURRY, STAY IN THE GRANNY LANE AND #### THEM!!!!!

    Personally I think 1 year OTR is EXTREMELY beneficial to a new driver, BUT, I recognize that, there's more than one way to skin a cat!!!!

    Good Luck!!!!

    Thanks man. Yeah I hear you on every point. I'm 39 almost 40 in a few months. So I'm already slowing down as it is. Haha. But seriously safety has always been my number one priority in my previous jobs. As a Tool and Die Maker and then as a Manager. Did my job and had my guys do their jobs as efficient as possible but safety was the most important thing.

    I appreciate all the tips and maybe I will see you there.

    Diesel price is $2.01 at our terminal!!!!!! Talk about showing some appreciation to us o/o during these times.

    Also, word on street that Kiswani will be opening a small mini terminal nearby CSX Detroit Ramps to service exclusively for CSX, CMA & Hyundia.. but primarliy CSX...!!! Seems like Kiswani & CSX relationship must be very tight for them to decide and open a mini terminal there...

    No wonder I've seen their ad a few times in Craigslist. Even saw one for a Mechanic.


    I went and talked to Junior. Did an application but he never got back to me one way or the other.

    He had said he saw no problem hiring me but needed to see if the insurance would approve me. I tried calling him a few times just to follow up. If he won't or couldn't hire me I understand completely.

    I'll try him again this week just to confirm. Good luck guys at Kiswani. From the little I saw and speaking with Junior it does seem like a very nice place to be at.

    Ya, same for me. I applied and i never heard back at first. You need to go in person. Go on a saturday around 10am. Not today though. Theresca huge meeting. But it took multiple times of contact by email.

    Will do. I did go in person originally and spoke to Junior in person. Filled out my application then and there as well. He made copies of all my document. DL, school certificate, medical card etc.

    I just figure he's a busy guy. I'll call a few times to see if I get a hold of him before taking a drive down there.

    Thank you.
