    #### that was very good about the hotel and waiting part, I will probably expect this next year.. I will too be taking a LoA, and started today reading my manual also calling around and checking websites the newbie training and classes seem to pointing to Jan 2009? I know CRE gave me a few calls, turned them down (hope it was good choice), recruiters were throwing all of the techniques at me I noticed

    Yea i want to start with the best started company I can, but if Werner is the only one, then Ima go there and knock down some EXP. After 3 mons Ill be looking local or regional, and wont stop till I land :)

    I'm not having any luck with any other companies responding. Clean record here of all kinds like a virgin nun. So wish me luck. Anyone know for sure if a company is hiring give me a shout please.

    Thanks yall

    Hi MGVenne,
    I am pretty sure I will call Prime monday and ask for a bus ticket, they have already preapproved me for a 3 day orientation and then get me on a truck with trainer, since I already have my CDL.

    Is there any advice you can give on what to take with me or to watch out for when I get to Springfield ?

    Thanks,

    I think my biggest problem is that I live near the Mackinaw bridge, maybe a little to far out of the way for most.

    Do you have any measurable amount of snow? I can't wait for snowmobile season to start.
