    Wow that sounds like a good deal. If I could get a job where I was home every night I'd be tempted to park my truck and come try it. I'm from Star City.

    My background was 6 weeks due to one city not having a working database?!? Anyway, it was all figured out and everything turned out fine. The background check timing could depend on how many places you’ve lived in the past ten years or so.

    From application to hire-date was 8 weeks for me.

    The P&D side is a little different here. I think the current weekly hours are 52/week. Monday through Friday. Top out pay is between $28-30/hour. You may want to consider a different LTL carrier for P&D. But hell, you might like it.
