    Okay, I graduated from Smith & Solomon in Dupont. Horrible school. I started at Calex, but didn't last long. Have you tried rapid pallet in jessup?

    Truthfully, I wasn't really feeling their training man. To me, it was a rush type of deal. Granted I graduated from a really bad school, and when I got to Calex they were ready to turn me over on my own when I wasn't ready. Not to mention they had a ton of newbs there that wasn't comfortable with being on their own. I thought Calex would be a good fit for me because I live about 10 minutes away. My only knock on them was their training. The trainers weren't teaching the students.

    I'm second thinking US FOODS just because I don't think I can handle getting up that early and working that late no matter how good the money is.

    I considered us foods back when I was fresh out of school. I'm assuming you're looking at the one in pittston. My advise is to stay away. Why? Because you'll be in places where you will put your license at jeopardy. All the time. Parking in tight places etc. I also looked into core mark in Wilks barre, but its the same ####. I went Otr for a few months and was able to get my experience that way. Also, you can try Jb hunt. I'm not sure of Otr is something you want or not, but for me Otr is something I didn't want to do loll.
