    Years ago Estes wouldn’t even talk to me. Neither would PJAX or Pitt Ohio for that matter.

    Just as well though. I’m happy where I’m at now. :)

    That's hilarious. Same here. Estes and Pitt-Ohio are two of the companies I was referring to that passed on me.

    Estes talked to me like it was a slam dunk. Then ghosted me.

    Meanwhile looks like every office position in PHX is suddenly open after a former TM got hired back, after being let go some time ago, reportedly for being physical with employees. Maybe that's why you all sitting, tbe freight's stuck there with no clerks to process it.

    Making Central look good.

    I got in ltl 2 years into trucking was in food service at first. With 6 years it's a sure shot you'll get hired if they are hiring. Make sure you call to check on app status now days with technology the robot decides to pull your app to the next step any mistake and the robot terminates it like arnold
