    Fill out massive 10 year resume application, wait for recruiter to call with lies and guarantees.
    Take the grey dog to some dirty city, ride an overcrowded van to orientation.
    Take numerous physical tests, drug screen, mountains more paperwork.
    Sit through endless bs about safety, take a road and backing test..fill out more paperwork
    Finally get a truck and assigned a beer load to take to another dirty city.
    Did I forget anything?

    Remember those days, all trucker stories to go along with it. The worst is going to retrieve a truck and uncle buck with all the farm animals lived in it:eek::eek:. It took me two days to clean it. I told them they were paying me too. They did and put me up in a motel for two days.

    Hireing on with my current company wasent bad. Wait for orientation (they waited till after the holidays) get there early and they had breakfast. Talk and b.s. with the one other guy hireing on, eat lunch. Talk some more. Get a lift to the hotel and grab some dinner and a beer at the bar. Go back to the room as its only occupant. Go back the next day, mountain of paper work (can't escape paperwork) talk some more. Go home for a day and grab a load to go somewhere not there. Wasent all that bad. It was actually kinda pleasent.
